Campagnolo Ekar | Installation

Campagnolo, the storied Italian road bike component manufacturer, is pushing gravel cycling even further with the 13-speed Ekar drivetrain. We had our expert mechanic, Luke Dordai, unbox the gruppo and install it on a gravel rig destined for some epic rides. Get our first-hand impressions on what sets Ekar apart along with some tips & tricks.

    There's a mistake in the derailleur adjustment section. When adjusting the tension, the gap between the largest sprocket and the derailleur cog should be no more that 3mm, not no less than 3mm. Campagnolo state that it should be less than 3mm, while still not making a noise from rubbing the cog against the sprocket.

    Just nice to see a Pinarello NOT kitted in Shimano for a change.

    Nice job..building the same bike /same gruppo.. My Pinna Grevil + only had a rubber plug for the rear stay where the rear der cable goes in.. what do you guys use for the cable stop?

    Nice video and instructions. There is an error in the final segment. Distance between the penultimate sprocket (second to largest) and the derailleur should be no MORE than 3mm with the minimum being a distance which causes noise.

    Great video, but I wanted to point out that Campagnolo does not recommend greasing the Horst joint on the Ultra-torque cranks.

    Thanks for your instruction. On m'y ekar dérailleur, the button of the jockey cage doesn't go out automatically when I want to lock it. Can you give me an advice.

    If I have enough space in the integrated handlebar/stem of the Bianchi gravel can I run the cable through it?

    As far as the spacers on the real wheel go is it wider on the cassette side?

    Hi, thankyou for this video, it was very informative weather to purchase an Ekar groupset. I have all ways loved everything Campag and this is no different. But I have a few concerning questions. 1st, Do I have to use a Campag 13 speed chain splitter as they are extremely expensive, or is there an alternative. 2nd, Do the rotors come with centre locks, and is there a special tool required for that. Great vid Keep it up. Tim

    Yo if you check out the campy brake installation manual it’s all there. You’ll want tool ut-bb130 or a park tool alternative to install the lock ring on the rotor. As far as I can tell from browsing online, lock rings are not included with the rotors.

    Some folks experiencing movement of the disc and hub spline engagement. Looks and feels like a loose headset. If anyone found a way to go fix that. Chime in.

    I don’t think it’s from the spline engagement but rather the 2 piece nature of floating discs. In reality, you will only notice the looseness when you’re pushing the bike back and forth while stopped and holding the brakes, when you actually use the brakes it won’t make a difference. Some benefits include the disc being able to expand without warping as it gets hot.

    Just one thing which might be useful, rather than say "torque to spec" can you tell us what the spec is?

    The specs are included in the video. See the boxes in upper left corner during each install segment.

    This is so very poor as an instructional video. Only the most superficial information is provided -- just a list of steps-- and no hints about *how* to do the steps, what to be careful about, and *why* you should do things a certain way.
