Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ceramicspeed OSPW close to spokes

Maybe I never noticed this before, but I installed an OSPW tonight and don the large cog, the pully is real close to the spokes. Everything is adjusted and running fine but it makes me a bit nervous. Is this normal?

How close is real close? 3mm should be plenty.

I guess I just never realized how close the cage sits to the spokes....

Be sure that the RD hanger alignment is correct.

You didn't upgrade to Sapin CxRay aero spokes?

Looks fine to me.
