Over size Ceramic Pully wheels

[I like Skol]

How much do they weigh? Reduced friction is one thing, but if these things have greater mass then they may provide greater inertial losses.

And more chain required to wrap around it. That extra set of chain links are going to slow you down on the climbs!

Just 9mph? I fitted 14 of them and am going for the land speed record next year...

You could of course replace Brompton wheels with those jockey wheels for riding in the snow. About the same size.

Well I certainly didn't think I would cause such a disputation amongst you all So as I'm not anywhere near the pros speed, in fact I'm lucky if I attain 15 mph average though perhaps if I was mad enough to shell out £399.00 and postage I could perhaps get a max average speed of 15.7mph all the time thanks for all your thoughts on this.

Hambini did say that AbsoluteCrap's testing method was flawed & their quoted energy saving claims didn't hold up to any form of respected scrutiny by peers.

I think CXRAndy’s review is kinder than Hambini’s, be warned keep the volume low at the beginning

I cannot watch any of his videos, the language just isn't called for at all.

Yes pertaining to the above of Absolute Blacks When making a video that will go out nation wide to all and sundry especially as anybody can see it you would think that perhaps there are other words to describe the quaintly and performance

And they're rotating, so even worse, bigger diameter, angular inertia and all that.

Most Hambini videos are rather sweary, and if you don't like it then don't watch. When it comes to the engineering he knows his onions even if he has a rather "robust" presentation style. He's making content for grown-ups, not perpetually offended babies.

I'm not offended easily but there's just no need for it, sounds like he's trying to impress his mates in the playground..

I reckon he's borderline autistic and this is just his normal presentation style!

They look super cool, I've got 2 I only bought them when I'd run out of other things to upgrade though

I'll send you a spec savers voucher to upgrade your eyes.

When the whole cage on my DA ceramic bushed mech from 1990 is the same size as the big wheel on these new things, no ta.

I quite enjoyed the video, thought the language was pretty tame

Watched a few of the Hambini vids, and he does have a , er, unique presentation style.
The fact that he's a thorn in the side to many of the big names in bicycle manufacturing can only be a good thing.
