    Haven't we been educated enough now to know frame weight means fuck all to 99% of cyclists?

    Don't buy press fit bearing bikes. If people stop buying them, they'll stop making them.

    One of Hambini's episodes addresses this - his conclusion is that press-fit is better than screw in, but only if it's made properly for e.g. Look (which seems to be the only brand he likes the manufacturing of).

  • Look (which seems to be the only brand he likes the manufacturing of).

    And then Raoul Luescher cuts one in half and show they're not actually that well-made...

  • I like the Luescher tech videos - the bike he built himself is really tidy - even in the video that he's slating the Cervelo with the internal bump stop that's cracked the frame from the inside he keeps it polite, Hambini makes some good points to the random bloke in the street (me) re. BB alignment etc. but yeah, he needs to get creative at least with the swearing...

    I've got a steel bike with a bb86 press fit thing that I've put thousands of miles on as the second owner through all sorts of shit & it's smooth as when I got it & it hasn't had an easy life up to that point - big bearings in a steel shell, seems to work well (the others are all threaded though)
