Ceramic Pulley Review

Coated version for even longer lifetime.

Ceramic pulley review.

The pulleys of choice for me was the aluminum derailleur pulleys with ceramic bearings. Smith says as far as he knows the german company berner was the first to experiment with oversize pulleys they weren t as large as ceramicspeed s 17 17 tooth pulley system. Kogel ceramic oversized pulleys come in two seal options specific to road and off road use. Racers will go to just about any length to save time and make their race machines more efficient.

In addition a larger pulley wheel spins slower for a given cadence and in this case each pulley also runs on premium hybrid ceramic bearings with light contact seals and a low friction oil. Ceramic speed s faq says the ospw is compatible with up to a 28 tooth cassette. Constructed with a fiber reinforced polymer the sram 22 road bike pulley set is in molded for absolute security. You can get them for road and cross conditions so naturally i chose road for the smoothest friction.

At that point the cost effective option is the 7900 derailleur especially given that it is lighter weight and smoother shifting. On my bike however even with the b tension screw bottomed out the upper pulley contacted the 28 in the big ring. Ceramicspeed ceramic pulley wheels offers smooth and precise shifting and less drag. Originally launched in 2016 with 11 teeth per wheel the new 12 tooth derailleur pulley wheels keep the quiet chain friendly delrin composite construction and free spinning ceramitech hybrid ceramic bearings.

Unlike some of the competitors they are not in your face or oversize but rather understated except for some color on the inside of the pulley. Review kogel ceramic pulleys shave off some time. Our pulley wheels are compatible with sram shimano and campagnolo. Order 12t ceramic pulleys at bbinfinite.

Kogel is a small company. While you can nitpick weight bearing upgrades are often overlooked because they are incredibly expensive and high maintenance. Road seals for lowest friction the minimal contact seals find the balance between reducing friction losses and maintaining the guaranteed performance. Simply choose the best seal for your riding environment from the drop down menu on the product page.
