Ahem...Hambini?

I’m waiting for the collabo to drop.

When I was at mud dock i had customers in every 6 months, v2 bearing, new frame, v2 bearing, new frame

Insanity.

Wow, what a pathetic, spiteful little turd.

I'm sure Cycling Weekly are a bit shit but I'm not sure he actually has a grasp of what sexism is. Puts on his best going-to-court-outfit and "serious tone" and spouts some utter guff that demonstrates he is guilty as charged, and it's actually worse than anyone could imagine. The bizarre faux scientific "NHS diagnosis" of ..."attention seeking feminist" was quite something, pure red pill edgelord stuff.

He tried to play the racism card when wondering why cycling weekly might have blocked him from commenting.

Which is funny, as he makes such a big deal about being honest etc. No way he actually believes it's a race thing.

defamation? I'd quite like to see him sued

You might like to see it, but what's the cause of action? In the case of named individual persons, mere vulgar abuse is not defamation. Corporate bodies would need to show actual or probable financial loss, and in either case the test is whether the statement causes the regard in which the subject is held by right thinking or reasonable persons to be lowered. I would argue that hambini is himself so disreputable that no right thinking or reasonable person would have their views about somebody else altered by his statements.

Even if you could persuade a court that he had defamed you, why would you bother? He's a grunt level engineer, he'd be bankrupt before you'd even got half your costs back.

People think "I'm rad and I broke my frame" rather than "This frame is shite"?

Literally all I can assume they think... morons.

pure red pill edgelord stuff

This. He probably has a well read copy of 12 Rules for Life

I am hugely disappointed that there isn't more pushback against that gateway-to-fash cult leader bullshit, it is fucked up. All kinds of pro athletes or whatever popularising it.

He spends hours bashing frame companies and their overpriced products and then... sells his own overpriced products. He definitely gets off on the anger thing.

Referring to Michelle as a “girl” throughout is a thing isn’t it?

That’s too good

Watched it last night out of total boredom. The TL;Dr of it is that he:

-attacks someone for claiming sexism motivated his comments about her genitals / says that response is racist with no justification for that

-calls her a hypocrite and incompetent because she filmed herself cycling 'during lockdown' / ride in question was not actually during lockdown

-says he's not sexist / calls her "girl" throughout video

-denies his comments were sexist / goes through her personal website and uses instances of her talking about female body as proof "she's looking for that kind of attention"

Total edgelord stuff-disappointing to see how many folk swallow such a weak response as being some kind of "reaming".

The bizarre part is him taking a photo from her twitter that she posted of her in a dress sitting in a train carriage, giving the implication of "asking for it"

When it's basically about her doing the 10 years ago challenge.

Best you can do is simply report his stuff as bullying on YouTube.

WAAC (extra a for actual).
I tapped out a few mins into the video, thanks for putting my thoughts into words so well.

And fuck me, the video comments are depressing.

Absolutely, the stuff at the end is really plumbing the depths of self-justification by trying to get his fanboys to think she deserves his puerile shite-if YouTube don't take it down they've got strange standards.

Classic misogynistic attitude that thinks women "wanting attention" is a bad thing (that is literally the entire point of journalism) - all while running a YouTube channel, trying to sell branded merch, etc. The guy's a wrongun simple as.

women "wanting attention" is a bad thing (that is literally the entire point of journalism)

Um, no, the point of journalism is to draw attention to the story, not to the author. There are plenty of perfectly respectable reasons for a person of any gender to wish to attract personal attention, but journalism doesn't seem to be one of them.

ok pal

Is Hambini's real name and job known? For someone who is proud of their product, his website goes to surprising lengths to prevent someone from finding his company details at Companies House. I wonder what he is hiding?

I'd say aerocoach would have a reasonable claim to probable financial loss tbh, and just because you might not get your costs back isn't a great reason to let his bullshit continue on unchecked imo.

I mean, there’s literally nothing wrong with trying to protect your personal details, nor is doing so a reason for suspicion.

However I do think that publicly being such a twunt could end up having adverse effects on his professional career.

Personal details I agree, but company details is a bit of a grey area. If you bought off his website you would think the company you were buying from is called Hambini, but there is no such registered company. Maybe he includes all the company details on his invoice. It might not be unethical, but it is unusual to go to such lengths to make the company details difficult to find or access.
