  • Absolute Black sent me their new version of the Hollow Cage and i got a chance to check it out, chat to them a bit and then whack it on my SLC 3.0 and take it out for a ride.
    I understand this product has raised some eyebrows and my experience is based on running a hallow cage on my rim brake bike for the last 18-24 months as well as fitting one to my new ride.
    Ultimately i love the look- im not an OSPW guy normally, the efficient chain line hasnt been my main reason for getting involved with these- its quite simply down to the way it looks and the hollow cage!
    Let me know what you think, my hairdresser likes it.

    This is one of the most efficient products you can buy for your bike. It efficiently removes your money whilst advertising your gullibility to everyone around you.

      Ebay has them for like $120. It was a scam from the getgo.

      If you ask them for it, they will just go into attack mode. 🤷‍♂️

    I bought one of these on Aliexpress. It probably gives me no power gains and adds 20 grams of weight.
    But it looks so amazingly cool!

      I wasn’t planning on getting an OSPW for my new bike, they aren’t cheap- I wanted to swap my first one over but it was Shimano and this build was Sram so not compatible.
      I do really like the look of the black on black.

      There’s been no money paid for this, but as I said they did provide the hollow cage.
      They haven’t had a say in the video, we had meetings to discuss production process and independent testing.

      A shill would have said this gives you 10 watts. Max hasn’t done that he’s specifically said it looks cool and that’s about it - it does look cool I personally wouldn’t spend the money but that’s personal choice :)

    Crap paid review. As a cycling influencer/enthusiast, you should stand with the cycling community and not promote a non-sense product like this. This is one of the reasons why cycling industry has become what it has become today. Your commentary on it works great, and shifts great are non-sense because this product contributed nothing to those attributes.

    • @thewattlife
      @thewattlife  5 месяцев назад +1

      I don’t mind it being called a crap review- but calling it a crap paid review feels like err… hypocrisy.
      I’ve had one on my rim bike for 18 months, which is mechanical. No shifting problems. Then this one, after resetting low limit is shifting exactly the same as with the stock Sram shorter cage. Those are my opinions based on, well, using the product
