NEW AbsoluteBlack Gen 2 Hollow Cage

- 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.
lol, hollowcage is a joke. Independent testing results are where?
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.
We need a Hambini video on this new version 2 lol
I have no doubt that one will come
Is this a paid ad?
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.
Congratulations, you are now a shill 😂
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 :)
The cage looks so cool. Shame the company a weirdo stalkers...
👀 I just want my bike to look cool
Got a gen 1 on my Orro
Taylor made and a very cool piece of bling 🚴♂️
who's Taylor?
Great finishing touch to add style

Reeming
Really people are still pushing this crap.
"It's great" says payed sponsors.
It reminds me of those horrible ear piercings that you stretch and gradually put in a bigger hoop , the ones all the young hips are getting . And for that reason , I’m out .
lol might take my bike down the skate park and see if it fits in down there
Very nice max how much pay
OH NO!! That's an ABSOLUTE CRAP! GEN 2! 💩💩💩💩💩
I’ve some magic beans that’ll give some extra watts. 😂
I’ll take them. Buuuuut this isn’t about watts
@@thewattlife each to their own if you’ve the money and it makes happy go for it. There’s so much BS marketing in cycling now it’s ridiculous. All to push manufacturers justification for exorbitant pricing for absolutely unfounded ‘gains’.
I have gen 1. Mine broke on hard shift after 3000km. Fake carbon cage doesn’t hold up.
My Gen 1 is still going and I use it every day. The Gen 2 is thicker and stronger if that helps
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.
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
🍿 moment
As soon as I see a bike with one of these on it, I immediately know that the rider knows nothing about bikes.
I know a little bit about bikes. I do just like the way they look
*Hollowcage
Oops- think I might leave this though, dyslexia lives on
@@thewattlife hope you're not citing dyslexia, a real affliction vs just having made a spelling mistake
Absolute Black is being sued for $10M, so I hear.
Ohhhh spill the tea ☕️
Going to google this now
@@thewattlife hambini mentioned it earlier today.
From what I gather this isn’t to do with the OSPW right?
How to lose subscribers : make a video about absolutecrap
I watch RUclips and I’m aware of the smoke- but I’ve run a cage on my Cinelli for 18 months. I like the look of hollow cages. I know WheelTop might be bringing out a HOLLOWcage group set upgrade soon
I know it's a personal thing but i think they look absolutely awful
😊🙃🙃 not for everyone huh
@@thewattlife Definitely, but its nice to see different bikes with different parts on them and like you said, it's a good talking point at cafes
Oh yes! New absolute BS cage! Can't wait for a proper reaming, from a well know engineer.
You trash the credibility of your channel by reviewing this.
I know ppl don’t like them- but I do. It’s unique and I can swap out the colour of the hallow cage which I quite enjoy
