Ekar chain on 12 speed groupset?
This is just out of curiosity, spurred by the 12 speed chain thread and noticing that Ekar chains seem to be widely available and sometimes priced below Chorus 12 chains. Has anyone used an Ekar chain on a 12 speed groupset, and, if so, how was the shifting and longevity?
I know that in a previous thread OP has provided guidance on matching chain speed and gruppo speed but I can't find it. Like I said, I can't think of a good reason to make this choice but I'm curious. |
No, but I regularly use 12 speed chains with 11 speed groups and they work great. If I were you'd I'd try it.

I bought one once, just to measure it. There's no way it will work with a 12 speed crank. The width between the inner plates is extremely narrow. A SRAM AXS chain works well with Campy 12.

I don't know why but my experience with a flat top chain on my Chorus 12 group, unlike yours and I think many others here, was poor so I've stuck with Campy chains. |

It won't sadly, ekar really is different :/
Side note, if anyone has 6-10 links of unused ekar chain, I would love to have it haha |
