| The Ekar 13 speed ergo shifter. With a Steel Cable! |
 |
| 40c Maxxis tires with lots of clearance left. |

| Pinarello Gravel bike with Campagnolo Ekar |
 |
| 13 gears to choose from. The largest is a 42. I left the derailleur cable a bit longer in case customer want to raise the stem. Since all cables go thru bars, stem and frame. |
Had a better time building this Ekar bike up today. It's all a learning process. The Ekar shifting is good. Just gotta make sure to lube up that cable with some drislide lubricant . I put it all together, bled the brakes , torqued it all and it was ready to go. I like the simplicity of the groupset, the brakes are fine and once the shifters break in a bit it all works just fine. I was able to test the bike for a few miles and came back satisfied with my build.Im sure people want this groupset in electronic but this runs pretty good and is simple to work on it once you learn it. I really like how this bike rides.
thanks for reading.

Interesting. That fork is wild. Glad that you are able to get your hands on such fine machinery!
ReplyDeleteI guess it's the wonders of people shopping online. I wonder if shops sell these machines off the floor. They are so heavily discounted
