    Seems like a legit improvement over the bushing pulleys, but I'm not sure I could justify replacing DuraAce pulleys. But the colors ARE enticing!

    @ayowser01 Před 2 lety +1

    Just make sure you request their gen2 ospw. They shipped me out a gen1, when the gen2 had already been out; I assumed I would be receiving the gen2. It created shifting issues. In the top gears, there was significant shift delay, or no shift would occur. I had it installed and adjusted by my lbs. I also took it to a second lbs to confirm the issue.
    Even with the updated design, it doesn't shift as smooth or quickly as the factory cage. It still sticks when shifting up/down from the top gear.

    • @CharlesOuimet
      @CharlesOuimet  Před 2 lety +1

      oh bummer!! Gen 2 is indeed better

    • @ayowser01
      @ayowser01 Před 2 lety

      @@CharlesOuimet the gen2 gives the ospw more shifting leverage due to the shorter cage, but it's still not 100% the same performance as the factory unit.
      Nova did send me out a new cage, but just the cage. I had go disassemble/reassemble, which is annoying. I also brought it back to my lbs to have it professionally adjusted again. All-in-all it was $30x2 for labor and the time spent to swap pulley wheels.

    One of the most important aspects of a design like this is the increase in noise! When I have used alloy pulley wheels I just couldn't put up with the increased noise of the chain running through the alloy jockey wheels. The factory Shimano are a polymer design which are silent in operation. I assume the Nova ones produce more noise over the factory supplied versions?

    • @CharlesOuimet
      @CharlesOuimet  Před 2 lety +2

      good point! I didn't hear any noise increase as drivetrain noise from casette and crank makes the most amount of noise

  • @mathewrose2951
    @mathewrose2951 Před 3 lety

    I put the Ceramicspeed one on my bike when I got the new DuraAce groupset so I could run 53/39 up front and have a 34 tooth gear on the back. Is the extra gearing range worth it? If you like long rides and bikepacking, I'd say yes. It worked out to $100 per tooth compared to the 11-28 I originally could run on the rear.

    • @CharlesOuimet
      @CharlesOuimet  Před 3 lety +1

      I wouldn't suggest go with a 34t cassette because you'll need you B-Screw all the way it to clear the 34 gear, resulting in a big distance in the middle of the casette and poor shifting.
      You should get a 52-34 crank with 11-28 or 30 casette. You'll climb easier and still go fast in decents!

    Hey. Charles.
    Is there a easy way to take off the wheel with OSPW? I just installed on my Di2 RD-R9150 and I having difficulty taking off my wheel.
    The upper pulley wheel and the smallest cog will not pass with chain installed (Derailleur tilled right back, as far as it can go). Not enough gap to pass through but with out the chain no problem.
    Would you have some trick to do this easy way?

    • @henryhong785
      @henryhong785 Před 2 lety

      Found the solution Charles.
      It has to be Smalll-Small state to take the wheel off. Using Full-Syncro mode it won't go down to small cog but the wheel just come off on 5th cog.

    • @CharlesOuimet
      @CharlesOuimet  Před 2 lety

      Run a smaller cassette, in my case a 30 is harder to adjust. maybe go down to a 11-28. You'll be fine climbing with your 34 up front :)

  • @streetdreamz-houstontexas9907

    Hey Charles! Not sure if anyone has asked , but you had mentioned in one of the videos that if getting the OSPWs we have to get a longer chain. Did you get a longer chain? if so, what size did you get? or how can we determine what size to get? I'm planning to get a NOVA OSPW like the one you got but in red! Great video!

    • @CharlesOuimet
      @CharlesOuimet  Před 2 lety +1

      Hey! it's a couple longer links longer, but for my builds I know I always ended up adding a Nova OSPW, so when first installing my chain I do keep that in consideration and leave it as long as possible (while working well) on the shimano pulley, so when I add the Nova I don't need to change the chain. If your current chain is the exact size for shimano, it might still work with Nova, but might also have too much tension and will no shift the best. Give it a try! Or just change the chain right away because anyways they wear out every 5-8 000 kilometers :)

    I run oversize jockey wheels too(16t top and bottom on ultegra 8000) but never change the cage and did a bit of a hack by filing it down to give enough clearance for the jockey wheels and chain. So far over 1000km and no issues and no chain or jockey wheels rub against the rear dee whatsoever.

    Hi you said that ospw will give aero drag so the watt gain will become 0...does it mean using the normal pulley nova ride will give me extra watt gain?

  • @82vitt
    @82vitt Před 2 lety

    It spins a lot, but in your fingers when is completely unloaded, which doesn't replicate the conditions at the rear mech arm. The pulley wheel will normally be loaded by the chain tension, but also laterally, and because it is much bigger diameter than the DA one, the lateral loading is much bigger and this may as well cancel any gains from the reduced bearing drag.

    • @CharlesOuimet
      @CharlesOuimet  Před 2 lety

      Maybe cancel the gains, but just look so much better :)

    Okay, but friction and drag are not necessarily a bad thing. You have to put in more work to get to where you are going on your bike … that is true, but at the same time you are also burning up more calories and making your heart stronger so there is a significant health/fitness benefit.
