The Absolute Black Carbon Ceramic Hollowcage is the most aesthetically pleasing oversized pulley wheel system on the market! Three questions folks often ask: How does it function? Is it worth the money? & most importantly, would you recommend it? 🤷🏾‍♂️

First Off, more in-depth about what we are discussing: Lets hear from Absolute Black.

WHY IS THE HOLLOWCAGE OSPW SO SPECIAL?
*It is super silent (over 12dB noise reduction vs stock).
*The shifting is as good as with the original Dura Ace cage.
*It’s more aero than the OEM cage and other oversized cages.
*It saves more watts than other cages
*One of the lightest oversized cages on the market.
*First mono plate construction of its kind.

& with the administrative house keeping out the way, let's talk about my firsthand experience with the Hollowcage.

    The fully ceramic bearings caught fire when Hambini put a blow torch to them . I didn’t know ceramic could catch fire and disintegrate.
  • @MrSzwarz
    If you see Hambini blog about this pulley cage, you will understand that it is waste of money....
  • Excellent analysis. I would feel the same way. I have heard/read many bad things about this overpriced cage. You did the right thing with the Kogel. Ride careful out there. Too many people playing on their phones. Much respect!!
  • @chrisball3412
    i never noticed the openess of the wheel and yea i can see how the chain with less tension could pop off and it would prob happen again.
  • @michaelrush208
    I have the the same cage on my madone with etap. My chain hasn’t popped off, but it was very loose compared to my ceramic speed ospw on my other bikes. What I did was I took 2 links out and it was a much more secure fit and feeling.
  • @theredspoon1763
    Have you thought about checking your chain length? Like if there might be too many links on your chain with this cage? To me it looks a little too long. But no way to be certain as I can not see how the derailleur looks when the chain is in the biggest chainrings both front and rear...
  • @cyberx7098
    I noticed in the intro of this video that you have a purple Hope rotor on your front wheel on your OSTRO VAM. Do you recommend it, and does it work as good as Dura-Ace? I was thinking about getting it as an alternative to Carbon-Ti rotors since they are sold out everywhere.
  • @hmmboost
    What cassette/chain are you running?
  • @liquidSpin
    Absolute Black as a company sucks. Their Hollow cage is one of the worst rip off components one can get for their bike. If you want it for looks only then fine but for anything else it's absolute shit.
