NOVA justed messaged me to confirm the bearings are sealed, but I'll still dismount them and have a look. I'll post a video on my instagram @charlesouimet 😁
I ordered one last week (black), but it's backordered, which is fine with me, I'm in no hurry, its paid for. Can't wait to get it! I like that blue color on your bike a perfect match.
I do have OSPW on my Madone 3.0 that I upgraded. Now, I will try the NOVA on my Madone SLR7 Gen 6. I saw a build with the NOVA on a New Gen 8 Madone. So, thanks for the info and discount code. 👍🏾
I owe you a bit of an apology. I just ordered and installed a set of these (in orange, to match the trim color and bartape). But I completely forgot who it was that introduced me to the brand in the first place. It was definitely you and this video that made me take a look and ultimately purchase them. Since I had forgotten, I obviously didn't use the discount, so they had no way of knowing it was your 'referral.' So please, pass this along to them, and thanks for introducing us. I agree, the aesthetics are great, regardless of the gain.
C'est une bonne alternative au kit Ceramic Speed mais je crois quand même que c'est pas pour moi. En fait, ça devrait être le genre d'upgrade de dernier recours quand t'as amélioré ton vélo à toutes les places que t'as nommées (slammed stem, pédalier plus court, vêtements aéro... ) et que tu sais plus quoi faire de ton argent. Bon vidéo par contre!
4 watts is an overstatement unless you can hold 1100 watts. Realistically, it's maybe 1 watt of reduced friction (200-250 watts of power). How clean and lubricated your chain is drastically outweighs the pulley wheels' performance. Basically, if changing the pulley wheels gives you 4 watts of savings, you should've just cleaned the 3.5 watts worth of gunk from the old pulley wheels.
@@CharlesOuimet Gonna need more than just one source, especially if that's your one source. Manufacturers are, by and large, the least reputable source for speed data. Often what you see is not what you get, and they never tell the whole story. After a few hundred miles, there's not a single thing you can do to ceramic bearings that will make them run as fast as well maintained, top quality steel bearings with low friction seals. Either replace the whole set of bearings every 200-500 miles, or clean your steel bearings without hammering them into or out of place.
Wow...2 channels I subscribe to covering the same upgrade in the same 24 hour period? Perhaps the universe is trying to tell me something. At least that will be my rationalization. OSPW do look sweet and the color options are nice. Just need to see how the bearing hold up, though a swap to sealed isn’t difficult.
Hi Charles, Guess you were right. Quality control is a serious issue here. I received my OSPW from Nova Ride today, but there were issues. The bigger jockey wheel appears jammed and stops abruptly. And instead of those for Dura Ace that I ordered, they sent me the one for 105. What can I say!!! Not acceptable. Nova ride needs to up their quality control seriously. I don’t want to install an OSPW knowing it is jammed. Though I bought for aesthetics, I still would like it to be freewheeling.
Hey man!! Really? What's odd. Send them a message i'm sure they fix this. I know someone else who ordered and recieved pretty much the same unit as me, that is working perfectly!
Hi, I did write to them, and this is what they mentioned... “all Bearing are same, Full ceramic 689 sealed one. To fit the wheels, we do not use glue between bearing and wheels. Mounted by pressing. It enable longer life span, and no loose to make shifting very accurate As consequence, tolerance are within 0.02mm during CNC for hole in wheels. it can happen that some wheels spin less at beginning du to internal stress. ( outter ring is Under little pressure to make it hold) All will get to normal after having use the product No worries about quality” What’s your advise? Do you think it’s normal?
Oh I see. I mean, the original pulley wheel is actually a bushing and not a bearing and doesn't spin at all. So if this doesn't fill like full on friction, it would be better. Try it for a few days/weeks and let me know!
My problems don’t seem to end. Took the bike to local S-Works dealer who tried to fit the OSPW, but failed. The indexing wasn’t helping, gears were slipping and jumping. The mechanics said it appears to a quality control issue. Have informed Nova Ride team, no response yet.
Problem with Nova Ride it's heavier than the Standard Dura Ace Cage . I am not paying $450 AUD 2 add more weight. Even 8 ir 12 grams . Looks Awesome, but Xtra Watts ???? Going 2 cancel my order
Why did u take of the chain? Because with a cage from Shimano u don't need to do that to change pulleywheels for example. I use C-Bear jockeywheels on most of my bikes (but I don't change the size/cage)!
you have $ 20 nike t-shirts and $ 70 others. At first glance, it looks like they are similar but the materials and lots of small details change ;) I think the same here. The price of sealed bearing has nothing to do with low-end bearings, such as aluminum, there are several types
Yeah! Also 4 years warranty and crash replacement. Which is nice. Bearings are sealed according to the brand, but I'll investigate this. I'll do a follow-up video with at least 1000km in.
Hi Charles, how’s the OSPW working out? I purchased one from AliExpress a few months ago, it finally arrived and I took it for a ride yesterday. Agree with you, it’s really all about the looks (it looks great 😎), but it will reduce friction, marginally. Marginal Gainz! I opened up the jockey wheels and saw the cheap uncovered bearings. That was expected so I’ve ordered some proper ones. How are yours holding up? Perhaps yours came with covered bearing to start. Mine only set me back $40. Another $5 for good bearings.
Hey man! The NOVA are holding up well! The ceramic bearings are sealed so it will be for a longer life time. It definitely add style and marginal gains :p The guys at nova have a strick QC policy and assemble all parts in France I have a new Nova OSPW coming in by the mail!
It will fit, but recommended to put on a longer chain, otherwise it can add too much tension into the derailler spring, and might rub if running a bigger cassette like a 11-32 on the 32t
just wondering if you are using the Ultegra DI2 GS (medium cage) rear derailleur? I read on Novaride website and it state that it is not compatible with Ultegra Medium cage. Do you have any issue?
Shifting is still bloody irritable especially when shifting up to the larger cog/gear. Nova Ride is not as customer centered like Ceramic Speed as they haven't post any tips or workaround.
let my pay 500 for 4watts? I'd rather eat less and reduce just 1kg of my weight, this will be more efficient. But it's even harder to lose 1kg than paying 500 no?
If you are going to get a ospw dont get the nova i got one and could not get to index properly no matter what i tryed , in short too much play in the wheels and the mounting ,
I had just completed an everest before filming this video, so I raised my bike for comfort for that challenge, and for the winter zwift season. But I always ride my bike slammed :)
If you have a sora groupset, an OSPW is not the worth the money. Put it toward a better groupset like 105, though it's all personal choice, and no you can add the OSPW on the sora derailleur
@@CharlesOuimet was this done to aid stiffness or just because of the noise just today i placed order for hyper 50 and this had me worried i know lightweight wheels comes with braces already installed thanks for the taking time to respond
look at hambinis video at ceramic bearings. he compares cheap chinese ones, ceramicspeed ones and steel ones. the cheap chinese ceramic ones are worse than cheap chinese steel ones.
Yup if it looks good and doesn't slow u down/ u have money why not?? 😂 ppl spend a lot more money on dumber things that looks just horrible. Thanks for the honest review 😍
