So I'm guessing that your memorandum of agreement ended?

But why would that stop Specialized athletes as individuals from using the product if Specialized just went back to dura-ace?

I left mine the same.... works fine with my 28t/30t and even 32t cassettes. I remember watching someones youtube video that had all kinds of issues when they shortened the chain. I'm also on the High tension level.

Do you know if the KCNC would work with eTap?

put the chain on the small ring in front small ring in back, and make it so the pulleys don't touch the chain rings.

I am not a SRAM user, sorry.

Looks to me that the ceramicspeed OSPW is still on her (Lucy Charles) bike looking at her insta story

SLF has a eTap system.

I saw that. You are correct. Ben from Ceramic Speed even said Specialized was controlling that. Strange. I’ve heard Lucy plays to her own rules, but maybe Specialized made an acception for her, which wouldn’t be right for the other sponsored athletes in my eyes.

I will take a look at her bike, I'm here at Challenge Roth.

Well, it actually happened: https://www.instagram.com/...?taken-by=tri_thedon

^this^ I've seen Ceramic Speed cages blow right off the deraileur. Then again, I've had my own SRAM Red one blow apart in the same way. I will say this, I've never had a Shimano cage blow apart.

The ceramicspeed pulley cage is not plastic.

I thought I would try out the oversized pulley fad and dipped my toe in the pool with a relatively cheap version that would fit onto a DA 9000 RD but not the 9100 version I was using. I had a spare 9000 version so attached it but found that the axle that holds the lower pulley wheel sticks out towards the wheel and actually touches the spokes when in the biggest cassette cog. Consequently, I reversed the axle so that it stuck outwards away from the wheel. Little did I realise that this meant the axle which was holding the pulley was connected only on one side and that the carbon cage was not firmly attached on the other side.

There was something smooth and quiet that I liked about using the oversized pulley but I could not put my finger on it. Was it faster? I couldn't tell. However, on one fast bumpy downhill section the chain bounced out of the cage at the lower pulley wheel and began dragging on the ground. Back to the drawing board.

As I was preparing for the aquabike world champs held last weekend in Denmark and I liked the whole concept of oversized pulleys, I decided to dig very deeply into my wallet and fork out a ridiculous amount of money for the Ceramic Speed version which attaches to the DA9100 RD.

How did my first outing in a race with it go? Well I can't state that it contributed entirely to my success but I managed to put in the fastest time split in my AG over the 120km bike leg. Ok, no big deal - you're an old guy and there was not too much competition in your AG. Alright, but I managed to have a faster time split than all but the winner of the next AG down and in the AG below that one again, I had the fourth fastest bike. Maybe I just had a good day out but please don't tell anyone else in my AG about this so-called fad. :)

Maybe it's not the UK market but because Tim wins races not just makes it into T2 first?

As an aside time saving from these over a 40k TT 1 sec?
