Hambini Bottom Bracket with NTN bearings, awesome!

Just a gentle flip of the finger sets the cranks in rapid motion. I love this Hambini Bottom Bracket with NTN bearings. I may not be any faster but the bike is so buttery smooth and seems to glide. It makes the whole ride experience way more enjoyable. And, no more creaking or clicking noises. Update: June 2023, have put 12,000 plus miles and 700k of climbing on this bb, it's held up perfectly. Still no creaking, still smooth.
If the Hambini bb didn't work, I was going to sell the bike and get out of cycling completely. I already had a very bad experience with a Trek bb90, prior to buying the SuperSix. I thought if I could just get rid of that bb90 I would be OK. But it wasn't so, the PF system on the SuperSix was nothing but aggravating creaks and clicking noises. After much research and consideration I reached out to Hambini. To my surprise he answered my email promptly, and provided me with much needed guidance on how to measure the roundness of my bb frame. With the information I provided him he was able to make a rather candid diagnosis and probability of a successful fix. I now have over 20,000 miles on my SuperSix. I did buy it used, so I have no idea how many total miles are on it. My peak power is around 750 watts. Ten minute power is around 300. And one hour power 220. I started a gym membership last January. I've increased my leg press strength from 140 pounds to 475 pounds. I've narrowed my bars from 42's to 38's. Slammed my stem, keep my elbows in and my head low. On a 50 mile ride, with 1500 ft of climbing my avg speed has increased from a solid 17.5 to 19.8. I only run on a pair of Zonda's, shallow box section wheels.
I don't know Hambini, I don't owe him anything. I just feel that his Hambini BB did solve my creaking bb issue and in the process gave me a new lease on life, so to speak.
