Congratulations, your RD3 C35/C60
OSPW+system is now installed!
Note: Due to the variability of rear derailleurs on the market, your
OSPW+is provided with two groups of tension holes: A-B (A for
higher tension and B for lower tension) and C-D (C for higher
tension and D for lower tension). The correct choice between
A-B or C-D will depend on your rear derailleur model and its
production year.
Included accessories:
RD W15 (included): On some frames with slim rear dropouts, the
shifting performance on the higher gears (smaller sprockets) can
be sup-optimal after you upgrade your derailleur with Ridea’s
OSPW+. To solve this, some users may require installing RD W15
washer between the rear derailleur body and the rear derailleur
hanger of the frame.

Required tools
For the installation of your new RD3 C35/C60 Oversized Pulley

the following tools:
Insert the tension spring in the
derailleur body and make sure
that the internal hook is inside
the tension hole.

If required, use a needle nose plier to
remove the body screw. (Attention:
Before you fully remove the body
screw, please press the pulley cage
against the derailleur to avoid an
abrupt release of the spring tension.)
Carefully allow the pulley cage to
unwind, opening the spring
compartment.

Keep holding both pieces together
and reinstall the body screw. Tight
(2 N.m) it with a 2 mm Phillips
screwdriver.

To facilitate access to the body screw, extend the derailleur
body and fix it in extended position with cable ties. If you are
working with the derailleur installed on your bike, just shift to
the largest cog.
1
Align the external hook of the spring with the correct group of
tension holes of your OSPW+(see note below). To know
which group of tension holes is the correct one, when aligning
your OSPW+with the spring, it should form an angle of approx.
90owith the derailleur body and the lower pulley should be
pointing up and forward. Choose the proper hole according to
your tension preferences (see note below) and insert the spring
hook in it.
