He has been lying about his own educational background, own testing, and others work. He likes to do personal attacks and creates a lot of drama.
According Adam Kerin, Hambini wrote a mail telling that people have been threatening Adam Kerin's family in comments on Hambini's webpage. If that is the result of his "reamings", Hambini should really think about his actions.
Hambini disgracing the profession of engineering yet again.

Hambini went after Michelle Arthurs Brennan in a very misogynistic and rather disgusting way, even suggesting sexual violence against her.

I guess Hambini is being more "responsible" this time, calling out what is coming rather than staying a part of it once it passes the thresholds from insults to threats of violence, but its worth remembering that there is a history of behavior here... In addition to him being a fraud, seemingly making up results, and never showing data. There is nothing fun here.
I still think ZFC should be just ignoring Hambini or could have stopped with like a 2 min video; after all the guy (Adam of ZFC) is pretty much transparently showing us data with very minimal interpretation.
Edit: To increase clarity that it's Adam of ZFC being clear about his test platform (basic as it might be) and data.

A broken clock can be right sometimes. Still not a great time keeping device.
All this Hambini talk is making me want to buy one of his titanium bottom brackets.

It is also Hambini's fault. He started this shit storm and does nothing to stop it. Right now people are calling Adam a racist, racist clown, and many other things in the comments on Hambini's webpage. Hambini owns this webpage and could just delete the comments.HannibalLecter wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2024 10:52 pmHe may be blunt and unapologetic, rude and many times plain wrong, but the actions of other people are not his fault.

He's cultivated that audience and has been perfectly happy with stoking their us Vs them sense of moral indignation when it has suited him, so he also gets to own it when they express it.HannibalLecter wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2024 10:52 pm

The way I see it, big bike are making all sorts of claims and appreciations of their products. And (me) the regular customer who haven't got a techical background is somewhat sceptical about their claims, but I also buy into a lot of their marketing, because I don't have any qualifications to know any better. In the end we are the fools.
This gives someone like Hambini, Adam/zfc and many others, who have technical backgrounds, a platform to reach out the the regular customer to examine and explain to us what is true and what is BS. But in order for one to do so, one needs to have a very high degree of credibility - which Hambini obviously has not. If one is very knowledgeable about a certain area, one doesn not need to make a lot of drama. People will look for your advice if you know your stuff and followers on e.g. youtube will come accordingly.
This makes me think, that Hambini is probably not that knowledgeable after all. And honestly if I was his boss, I would tell him to stop the way he is acting on youtube. It reflects badly not only on the company he is working for but also his profession.
And I don't buy into the notion that you have to create drama in order to get more traction on social media. I'm not saying, that it's not true - it's probably spot on. I'm just saying, that when you put content on youtube/social media you have a choice. You can either get more traction by making drama and entertain people, or you can deliver high quality usable content. The way I see it, this is the difference between Hambini and Adam/zfc.
And in that context I'm a little bit sad that Adam is even responding to Hambinis BS. It's beneath him. But I get, that everyone has his limits.

Well it is a well engineered product that actually seems to live up to its performance promise ( long term performance not yet determined ) which is a bit of a nice surprise in this day and age of failed claims and turbo-charged hype.

In the interests of keeping the laugh parade alive thought youse all may find the following interesting. And yeah the guy may eat too many bananas so please don't immediately kill the messanger especially when there is some content that bears looking at. Like that wire hanger thingee (aka Swisher Tool ), wow, awesome product like from a trustworthy source ?...or ?....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL-riEcZ8dw
And about playing around with that youtube algorithm thingee, and click-bait-titles, cause when I type in Hambini how come the first several options are from some guy named Adam. Again colour me confused.
Cheers

We've all read that link. Is it true? Does he not have the degrees he has claimed to have?
Has he ever worked in aerospace? Did he ever have access to an aerospace wind tunnel?
Were the results of the wheel test, first presented on this forum, completely fabricated?
Since Hambini doxed and stalked a female journalist, I'm guessing that he probably deserves all that he gets back.
If I was his boss? You can't be his boss if he's not on the payroll.
Nobody with that much drama is worth it. Unless you are the owner. Then, you can do anything you want. In that case, I would think twice to be your employee.
Stooping to his level doesnt do anything but make you a hypocrite. No, we dont need to dox him.

I will disagree, and most of youtube is like that, in the sense that the longtime viewers will agree in the comments with the ytuber.mgrl wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2024 10:27 amHe's cultivated that audience and has been perfectly happy with stoking their us Vs them sense of moral indignation when it has suited him, so he also gets to own it when they express it.HannibalLecter wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2024 10:52 pm

Still, when someone wants to escalate or right down threaten, no, I wont accuse the ytuber because he has stupid viewers, even if he is also stupid. And hambini did draw a line, in the email he sent to Adam. However, I wasnt aware on his alleged misogynistic comments on twitter, so I wont comment on that, because I dont have a clear picture
