CeramicSpeed OSPW RS Disc vs 5-Spoke Pulley Wheel Kits — Choose the Right Upgrade at Eminence Cycle Co.

CeramicSpeed OSPW RS Pulley Wheels Explained: RS 5-Spoke vs RS Alpha Disc

When it comes to drivetrain optimisation, pulley wheels are one of the most effective yet often overlooked performance upgrades. At Eminence Cycle Co., we specialise in elite road cycling components, and the CeramicSpeed OSPW RS pulley wheel range represents a precision upgrade for riders who demand smoother shifting, lower friction, and measurable efficiency gains.

The OSPW RS 5-Spoke Pulley Wheels and the OSPW RS Alpha Disc Pulley Wheels are two separate CeramicSpeed products, each designed with a different performance focus. This guide explains the differences clearly, helping you choose the right option for your Shimano 9250 / 8150 drivetrain.

CeramicSpeed OSPW RS Platform Overview

The OSPW RS (Racing Sport) range from CeramicSpeed is engineered to improve drivetrain efficiency without the complexity of a full oversized cage system.

Both RS pulley wheel options feature:

• Hand-built CeramicSpeed ceramic bearings
• Optimised tooth profiles for Shimano road drivetrains
• Precision-machined pulley bodies
• Reduced friction compared to standard jockey wheels

This makes the RS range ideal for riders seeking a high-performance, low-maintenance upgrade.
