CERAMICSPEED OSPW X Alpha derailleur cage system | SRAM RED XPLR 13-speed | silver
The Oversized Pulley Wheel System X (OSPW X) from CeramicSpeed is probably the noblest way to minimize friction. The large rear derailleur pulleys with 14 teeth at the top and 20 teeth at the bottom significantly minimize the chain wrap radii, which results in less friction. In addition, the larger derailleur pulleys guarantee a longer service life than other standard systems on the market.
The bearing cage of the OSPW X systems consists of carbon fibers reinforced with polyamide. This means that the forces occurring are better absorbed and your rear derailleur works perfectly under the most adverse conditions. It is also more resistant to stone chips and flying branches.
Probably the most interesting technical feature, however, are the pulleys: the teeth, which sit on an aluminum disc, are made of a durable, fibre-reinforced composite material. This ensures that the chain runs very quietly and smoothly. However, the most important aim of the development work was to avoid contamination in the bearing area, which is exactly what the patent-pending Active Debris Remover (ADR) system does. Directly on the contact surface with the ball bearing, the washer has a lamellar, serrated profile that ejects all contaminants during movement and prevents dirt from penetrating the interior in the first place.In addition, the closed design prevents twigs or small sticks from getting caught in the pulleys and possibly causing damage to the cage.
Ceramicspeed's own high-quality ceramic-stainless steel hybrid ball bearings continue to rotate in the center. These have to compensate for a great deal of friction, as they rotate 4 - 5 times faster than the crank, depending on the gear ratio, and therefore benefit in particular from a low-friction and durable bearing. The Ceramicspeed SpeedBalls are 15% harder than those of the competition and can absorb considerably more force. They also have an incredibly smooth surface, thereby reducing rolling resistance to a minimum. All these improvements have also increased the service life by a factor of 6.
Ceramicspeed uses only the best materials and the latest technologies in production to ensure the highest possible quality. All products are handmade in Denmark. No hydraulic presses are used during assembly. Manual assembly eliminates manufacturing tolerances and guarantees a perfect fit every time. So that you really only install the best on your bike.
Maintenance
Ceramicspeed components are high-tech features for your bike. They offer you maximum performance, but also require regular maintenance and care. The oil included in the scope of delivery is used for maintenance and has been specially formulated for these bearings. Lubricants from other manufacturers are not recommended.
Important notes
When traveling, please remember to remove the complete rear derailleur with an Allen key, as very few bicycle transport bags offer sufficient space for the OSPW system.
Ceramicspeed is confident in its products and offers a lifetime guarantee on this rear derailleur cage system.
