lol how to destroy your credibility is five easy forum pages. . .

Another analysis on the Zipp dimples... Remarkably similar to mine.

HELLO HAMBINI FANS!!!

1:04:25 in the video is where the relevant information is.

The more people I encounter the more I love my cats.

People who is defending Zipp or any brand of wheels ownership should come forward (at least for once) and expose their true reasons to own a set. A fantastic look, dimples, waves on rims, resale value, whatever. Being a bully and try to make a fool some engineer study it just makes you look as a marketing sheep. Also a concepts or paraphrasing war doesn’t count as well. Wikipedia can’t match a degree or aerospace industry. Is Hambini a bully, or unpopular to some due his vocabulary? maybe! But at least he’s published a full study for free with lots of data for everybody’s benefit or fun. And no! If you didn’t hire the guy to make the study, you can’t keep asking for validation, wind tunnel pictures or confidential information to satisfy your ego. The only way you can contradict his study is to produce a similar or better study to proof him wrong.

Personally I’m thinking to get a new Zipp wheelset and even it’s been proven by Hambini or other companies that are not the fastest I’ll probably get those only because of the resale value, as I’m aware there’s a lot of sheep out there.

This is a great video everyone should listen to the QA at the end.

Name calling or taking the piss out of someone’s name is not very mature and bang out of order regardless of which country you are in. Racism is in the eye of the beholder ...one mans banter is another mans abuse. Only the person calling names can tell you if his ‘banter’ had a racial overtone or not if it’s subtle enough. Either way let’s not resort to name calling and respect one another.

The guy you're defending has literally told people to kill themselves. It does kinda go both ways. Definitely far more out of order than making fun of someone's name.

I think your opinion is going to change as you get more experience in the actual world.

I can assure you, I know more about the 787 than you.

You do understand that marketing teams use words for marketing reasons?

There are some areas where aerospace is ahead of cycling and others where it is not. That is not an insult, an engineer would understand exactly why that is true. The industry are driven by different requirements, that pushes advancement in different areas. That is the way technology works.

Everyone don't call anyone names and definitely dont kill anyone. Stealing is out of order as well... just be nice

Thank you for this tread, it makes him even more popular.

What did his study prove?

I said it long ago, but 2.5% error on his wheel test overlaps every wheel but the few very best and the few very worst. And then he has the balls to say “wheel x” is crap. And the data was obtained with one rider, much of it over a single weekend apparently. Then over a period of months as more wheel data got added here and there.

Phd or not, that says a lot.

I truly think the only conclusion he could make was “deeper rims are faster”.

This made my day. Speaking of depth...

Hambini: PhD Aerospace Engineer. Uses viagra to not pee on shoes.

I suspect this is not made up science on your part. No need to prove your experimentation on this one.

Now I'm genuinely curious if Viagra is medically used for bladder control.

ETA: Hot damn, I think it is!

Not that is necessarily proves anything, but there are no publications or patents I can find with hambini as an author/inventor. I'd think that a smart guy like him would have at least one of those

does that mean its safe to be used tri bike stuff from trigeeks now?

Yeah, but there is good reason why only cialis is fda approved for bph treatment. I presume it is the same in the uk. How is that for off topic?!? Aero testing and fingers up bums. Hahah.

Nope. Electrolytes and water + bike is a bad combo, independent of the original source. ;-)

You mean by intentionally using extreme levels of bad language or insults and passing it off as entertainment so as to create clickbait for the lowest common denominator doesn't ?


(Note: By the way, having a PhD doesn't make or state you as a genius. It's an act of endurance, not an intelligence test. I know plenty of smart engineers who haven't done one. For anyone interested: anyone that has completed one within a UK university is listed within an active database. Here: https://ethos.bl.uk/Home.do?new=1).

Read the last line of this wikipedia page and then familiarise yourself with error bars and statistical insignificance before you spout your mouth as if you are gods gift to statistics.

"A notorious misconception in elementary statistics is that error bars show whether or not a statistically significant difference exists, by checking simply for whether or not the error bars overlap; this is not the case."

HELLO HAMBINI FANS!!!

I'm saying the industry can't make their F***ing mind up. We've had narrow wheels, wide wheels, toroidal wheels, U wheels, V wheels. Then we had a realisation that we spend less time at high yaw angles. The list is endless.

For the 2.5% read this.

You were an aerospace engineer? Stop pulling a fast one. You are completely clueless.

Doesn't that contradict this statement from source #5 of the wiki article?

Or if you want to get pedantic, if the sample size and standard deviation of the two groups are the same, the standard error of the difference between means is the standard error of the individual mean times the square root of 2 (1.414). So in order to get p<.05 differences, you would need a difference of approximately 1.96 (lets call it 2) Standard Error of the Difference between means. That gives a total gap (in Standard Error of the Mean terms) of 1.414 * 1.96 = 2.77 (lets call it 3 to be conservative). So if you want to eyeball it (what I like to call the inter-occular test), you would need a gap between means of about 3 SE error bars. This is also why if people use 95%CI error bars (1.96 x SEm), and they do NOT overlap, you can know that it will almost certainly be p<.05 since they are nearly 4 SEm apart. Better to be more conservative than less when using inter-occular tests since they don't account for differences in sample size, variance, etc. A little lost power is better than unexpected type 1 errors here.

Full disclosure, I teach introductory behavioral statistics at a university.

Why won't you answer the basic questions about the purported letter from Flo's lawyers, or what exactly you believe Slowman's role is in that? That seems pretty foundational to your overall credibility.

I have emailed Slowman and shown him the email I was referring to as his post indicated he had forgotten about it. It is for him if he chooses to respond and if he wishes to do so in a public forum.

I'm not saying for one second that he was the one behind the lawyer.
