OSPW Fouling Derailleur

[bigfella]

Hi There,

I have replaced my chain, cassette, crankset and changed over to an oversized pulley wheel cage. Shifting and general drive seems find, however when in the highest gear (11 speed), the guide pulley fouls the derailleur itself.

Any ideas what could be up, I have tried all the adjustments I can, but cannot get that top pulley away from the derailleur itself.

Thanks!

Yikes! Got to ask, but why? What benefits are inferred by the supplier of the kit and surely the problem is because the top pulley is too big for the location?

Is the new chain longer?

Completely self-inflicted 'wound' imo.
Dropping the guide jockey wheel tooth count back down to 13 (say) should keep it clear. Should cost less than £20 at least to trial it (after you've dropped hundreds on the new cage/OSPWs).
Fix this, oil the chain, charge the battery, and ride it. Or do you keep this bike for hanging on the wall?
Btw I too suspect the chain is too short, but the OP can check that: large/large.
Does the use of a guide OSPWs reduce/make no difference/increase the wrapping capacity of a rear mech? [I wonder]

Thanks for your help. This was due to the chain being too long, removed 4 links and all is swell.

With regards to "why", well - why not? Since fitting the OSPW cage my Strava times have been reduced significantly.

Anything else changed? Been riding shorter segments?

I'm not talking a few seconds, significant gains comrades.

Besides, the coolness factor is worth it.

Cool, now go and win some races.....

Did you put the whole chain on ? As opposed to measuring what was there before ?

Can we see more of the bike please ? It looks lovely from the pics so far.

Sorry, I can't get it down from the wall. Looks great though!

I like the look of it. It's a yes from me.

It loses marks for catching on the rest of the mech. But you can't have everything I suppose.

Thanks

I put a new 116L chain on, I did not trust the existing chain length. It used to have a 11-34 cassette on it, so I started again. Running 110L now.

Here it is, with the Cannondale crankset, I have now changed it to a Dura Ace one.

Called the placebo effect !

Looks fugly. To fix this issue, looks like you need to go back to the original design. How much money did you waste. Bit like shelling out on ceramic bearings.

It was a joke.

The issue has been resolved if you read above.

I can afford it.
