How to install your OSPW System for Shimano 9100/9150 with Integrated Stop Tower

[@morlysafer]

Why is there not a better guide on how to size the chain with these OSPW? You said 112 links but how does that account for various chainstay lengths? Shimano says to bypass the case, your own instructions say to start with the small-small method, but my 8000 Di2 doesn't let me go to small-small. I'm sure I'm overthinking this and should just throw on a chain but it seems a glaring omission considering we are spending ~$500 on this bit of kit and maybe improperly sizing the chain. Thanks

I greatly appreciated this video. I installed mine today following the directions herein with a very satisfactory result. THANK YOU!

[@CeramicSpeed]

Thanks for your feedback. Glad you found it clear and useful. Enjoy your new upgrade and fast&smooth riding from now on. :)

Hi Ceramic Speed, will this video instructions work for the new 12sp Shimano R9250 rear derailleur too? Also, I have 52/36T chainrings with 11-30 cassette, how many chain links do you recommend? 112?

[@stabilocycle6855]

Kau profesional. Informatif. Dan sangat membantu. 👍🙏

[@ryant75]

I never thought about spring tension. How do you choose best tension? I don't race jus a group rider with strong legs looking for some bling and a smoother transmission on my 9150. What would you recommend?

[@milkphish4122]

Thanks for your excellent video! Very helpful! I have a Quintana Roo PR3 tri-bike. The bike came stock with a 52/36 front chainring and 11-28 cassette. I want to make 2 changes: 1) install a 11-34 cassette; 2) install a Ceramic Speed OSPW. I have a Shimano RD9100 rear derailleur. The RD9100 capacity is 30t. The Ceramic Speed OSPW capacity is 32t. Do you think it would be possible to run the CS OSPW with the 11-34 combination? I don’t want to void any warranties or destroy my derailleur or CS OSPW. Any thoughts?

[@maurodasantos]

Please one question, what's the size/diameter of the pulley wheels bolts? I have to buy two of these.... Thanks!

What causes the retention pin not to go in at all ? It is not going in smoothly and very hard. What causes this?

How many links do you recommend on Sram Red AXS 12 V 48/35 chainring and 10-33 cassette for best performance? All the best!

[@jaytoledo25]

Hello, did you reinstall the first stop screw that you removed?

[@CeramicSpeed]

Hi Jay, do you mean the stock rotation stop screw removed at 0:48? It is not needed for the OSPW installation as it stays with the stock cage that was removed as well.

[@jaytoledo25]

@@CeramicSpeed got it, thank you!

Hello, do you use any lubricant on ceramic bearing pulley?

[@alen-commentnazi8774]

2:43 how can you wind it back like that? I tried doing that and the spring pushes outward and doesnt let me do it. That fixed built in sloping 'stop' gets in the way of me winding the derailleur back

[@edereesesulaiman3190]

Hi there, I have a new chain that was size for 53/39 and 11/28. It's 108 links. In the video you mention a new chain as the length required is 112 links. Will adding the additional 4 links with a second power link work? The chain has done roughly 50km.

[@CeramicSpeed]

We always advise against adding links to any chain. It may work, but we would not suggest to do so.

[@pioraz7541]

How many links do you recommend on Semi-Compact 52/36 chainring and 11-30 cassette for best performance? All the best!

[@CeramicSpeed]

Hi Pioraz. You should start with 112 links for that combination.

[@pioraz7541]

@@CeramicSpeed Thank you! My order came in today and already installed. Great stuff 👌

[@leonardomangino530]

Salve, volevo sapere con shimano di2 ultegra 11 velocità, quante maglie deve avere la catena ottimale. La molla sul tenditore ceramicspeed va montata sul secondo foro velso il basso? Com'è meglio regolare il ceramicspeed dalla vite di registro filiale?? Resto in attesa di vostro riscontro. Grazie mille

[@CeramicSpeed]

Hi Leonardo, we hope English is OK. For the chain length, we have our measurement guide here; www.ceramicspeed.com/media/5168/ospw-chain-length-and-spring-tension_20-09.pdf You will likely be around 110-112 links, but it is best to measure with your specific setup. You may write us directly if you have further questions [e-mail]

[@briansmith2125]

Looks neat, but what is the purpose?

[@CeramicSpeed]

Hi Brian, our Oversize Pulley Wheel System (or OSPW), reduces friction in the drivetrain, allowing more of your pedaling energy to get to the rear wheel. You can read more about the 'how' it does this here; www.ceramicspeed.com/en/cycling/inside/test-data-reports/ospw-system-report-and-general-information/

Will the wax on the UFO chain wear out?

[@CeramicSpeed]

Yes, the optimized life of the UFO Coating is 600km before the wax has worn down. Then you can apply a coating of UFO Drip or your choice of lubricant.

[@kevinsapari1674]

Why I can't use Ultegra R8000 GS for this OSPW?

[@CeramicSpeed]

Hi Kevin, the rotation stop screw placement is different on the R8000GS derailleur, requiring a different cage and not cross compatible to the R9100 derailleurs, or the R8000 SS derailleur.

[@alen-commentnazi8774]

@@CeramicSpeed what model derailleur is the one used in the video? i am runniung into the same exact problem on a r7000 105

[@bokaili6567]

Hallo, How Many links for 52/36 and 11/28?

[@CeramicSpeed]

Hi Bokai, we recommend having a qualified mechanic take a look. It will likely be around 110 or 112 links for a 9100 or 8000 series derailleur, but chain stay length and derailleur hanger position can both play a part of this. We have a chain length guide on our website, under Support > OSPW > Installation.

[@lassemikkelsen5232]

Are the oversized pulleywheels louder than stock Shimano? Do they compromise shifting or does it work as well as original setup?

[@CeramicSpeed]

Hi Lasse. The oversized pulley wheels are not louder than the stock Shimano, and the shifting is not compromised as long as the system is mounted correctly. :)

[@tomasrodriguez7014]

Can i use the dura ace 9100 OSPW on a 9070?

[@CeramicSpeed]

Hi Tomas, unfortunately the mounts are too different between 9100 & 9000 series and the cages are not cross compatible.

[@marcuswong1797]

crazy how the UFO chain and the OSPW cost more than the Ultegra di2 lol

[@tsc4842]

No it doesnt the chain 130 ospw is 400

[@smb06]

@@tsc4842 he may have meant just the di2 RD only in which case just the rear derailleur is cheaper than the ospw alone.

[@giocre74]

perfect!!!!!

[@Drago0900]

Idk man for how much these cages are, they sure don’t seem worth it, due to their weight, and increased aero drag if we are talking marginal gains.
