Oversize Pulley Wheel System
for Shimano DA 9200

Maintenance
No set of rules can be made for how often your Oversized Pulley Wheels are
to be maintained. Maintenance frequency depends on the weather conditions
that you are riding in.
A worn chain will increase the wear on the pulley wheels significantly, so
make sure that you change your chain before it is completely worn out. Under
normal conditions, we recommend that you service the Oversized Pulley
Wheels when you have ridden under wet conditions, washed your bike or each
time you lubricate the chain. For normal maintenance, add a drop of oil into
the lubrication points (see the page 3) for optimal performance. Make sure
to position the OSPW System horizontally to ensure that the oil reaches the
Oversized Pulley Wheel bearings.
We recommend the use of CeramicSpeed Oil on the OSPW System. This can
be purchased from the CeramicSpeed dealers worldwide or from our webshop.
Watch our maintenance video on ceramicspeed.com in the Support section.
When travelling, your OSPW System will not fit in the bike travelling bag. We
recommend that you dismount the whole rear derailleur and pack it aside.
Extended Maintenance
Approximately once every half a year we recommend that you perform an
extended maintenance.
In this case, you should dismount the Oversized Pulley
Wheels from the cage, remove the seals from both sides and clean all parts in
a shaker with degreaser. After cleaning, dry the components off, put two drops
of oil onto the CeramicSpeed Balls, place the seals back on and remount
the Oversized Pulley Wheels. When dismounting the cage plates, you will
need a 2.5 mm Allen Key for the pulley wheel bolts (see page 3) and a 2 mm
Allen key for the tower bolts. To remount the screws, tighten the pulley wheel
screws up to a max torque of 1 Nm and the tower bolts up to 0.3 Nm. For this,
a torque tool is recommended.
If you’re riding in wet and muddy conditions , we
recommend you to perform an extended maintenance more frequently and
replace oil with All Round Grease for better protection.

To ensure the very best in riding performance it is vital that your new
OSPW System is mounted correctly. Follow these instructions to install your
OSPW System for Shimano DA 9250 with integrated stop tower:
1. Begin with your bike mounted in a stand and
remove the rear wheel.
2. Remove the chain with a proper chain tool.
Upon completion of installing the OSPW
System you will need to use a new, longer
chain. Note: it is not recommended to add
links to a previously ridden chain.
4. Then shift the derailleur up, past the routing
point. Using one hand to pull the cage
slightly until the stop tower is free and
carefully allow the pulley cage spring to
unwind, releasing the spring tension. Your
derailleur cage will appear to be upside
down.
3. Locate the black mounting screw on the
bottom of the derailleur body. Use a T10 Torx
screwdriver to remove the black T10 mounting
screw. Only half of the screw is threaded. Once
the screw is about 1 cm out and the threads
are not engaged, slide the screw the rest of
the way out with your hand. Secure the cage in
the derailleur body with your thumb.

9. Select the spring tension hole second from ‘L’
(second lowest tension) and insert the hooked
end of the spring completely. This may need to
be pressed firmly. The plastic spacer will rest
freely on the spring until aligned at the back of
the derailleur body.
8. Note the four spring tension settings on the
OSPW cage: from H (high) to L (low). The L tension
setting will reduce both chain tension and friction,
but will also result in slightly compromised
shifting performance. The H tension setting
provides the best in shifting performance, yet it
will increase friction performance slightly over
other tension settings.
6. Remove the spring and plastic spacer from
the Shimano cage. The end of the spring is
hooked to lock into the pulley cage. Keep
the aside as you will reuse these for the
installation of the OSPW System.
Unpack the CeramicSpeed OSPW System.
5. Slide out the original pulley cage and
spring assembly, careful not to drop the
pulley spring and plastic spacer.
7. Place the original spring and plastic spacer
over the mounting post of the OSPW
System in the same manner they were
removed from the stock cage. The hooked
end goes toward the OSPW cage as well as
the flat edge of the plastic spacer.

11. Hold the OSPW cage against the derailleur
body and rotate counter-clockwise (first
up and then to the back of the bike and
downward) until you feel the ramped stop
tower click past the stop point on the
derailleur.
10. Rotate the derailleur body back, align the
mounting post of the OSPW System to the
back of the derailleur body with the cage
pointing to the front of the bike. Align the
tension spring and plastic spacer with the
slot on the derailleur body and insert until
the cage is flush to the derailleur. Ensure the
OSPW cage rotates smoothly and the spring
is properly situated.
12. Secure the cage by reinstalling the original
black T10 screw (removed at step 3).
Installation torque is 1Nm. Your new OSPW
System is now installed.
13. Shift the derailleur down to the bottom and
install the rear wheel. Install a new chain
according to the guide on the following page.
Ensure the derailleur hanger is accurately
aligned, check the upper and lower stops
of the derailleur, and set the b-limit gap
between 47mm at the largest cog and upper
pulley. Adjust the Di2 trim for proper align-
ment between the cogs and pulley wheels. If
in doubt, have a qualified mechanic make the
final gear adjustments.
NB: For the best result use an original
Shimano Ultegra or Dura-Ace Cassette (max
34/11T) and M8100 or M9100 chain

Test the present chain length acc. to the description below.
If it turns out to be necessary to change the chain length, follow the
description below.
Chain length
STEP 2: When tension is applied on the chain and the OSPW System appears
to be aligned as the diagram above, the chain needs to be cut (1 link shorter
than step 1) and connected by the required amount of links in order to
achieve sufficient tension in this gear combination (always the small cog on
the cassette).
1 link shorter
than step 1
STEP 1: Place the chain on the smallest cog on the cassette and the small
front chain ring. To find the correct chain length, pull the two chain ends
together, just as you would when needing to cut a chain to length. The lower
part of the cage should start to move downwards, away from the cassette,
as referenced in the second image.

STEP 3: With the chain now cut to length it is important to test the clearance
of the OSPW System when the rear derailleur is set in the largest cog on
the cassette. Just as the arrow indicates the cage should be able to rotate
counter clockwise. It is important that there is some clearance between the
upper pulley wheel of the OSPW System and the largest cog on the cassette.
If you find the clearance is not enough, adjust the B-tension accordingly.
Spring tension
For the initial setup you should select the spring tension hole next to L
(second lowest tension). This provides the best balance between low
tension/resistance and optimal shifting under standard conditions. If
shifting response is too slow, and/or if you ride on rough surfaces (cobbled
roads, rough gravel, or cyclocross), you may change the spring position to a
higher tension at or next to H.
