From the Hambini test result page (link in OP): Quote:
FOLLOW UP... Letters from Lawyers Shortly after writing this blog post, the author(s) received a letter from a firm of solicitors representing FLO cycling. They complained this page depicted their wheels in a poor light, the test protocol was not openly published (basically they were too stupid to understand it) and they did not like the statement that they had a limited understanding of the aerodynamics of rotating objects. They wanted their power figures removed from the data along with threats of court action
It should be noted that FLO Cycling have a somewhat questionable strategy of paying prominent forum members in a number of popular cycling/tri forums to endorse their products. They usually do this under the premise of free or heavily discounted wheels
Whats up with this? I have no horse in this race and have previously called Hambini out in this thread for the sometimes condescending tone with all the "we're rocket engineers we know better" but do people need to be careful now when they conduct aero tests and post their own findings?
Huh. That's not good. Too bad that Hambini seems to have the social maturity of a 5 year-old, and too bad that Flo chose the legal route.
None of what Hambini is claiming is true. Please read my previous post.
