Is anyone making narrow-wide 1x rings for Campag 4-arm cranks yet?

As per title, are any of the aftermarket companies making 1x rings for campag 4-bolt arms yet?

Realize this isn't answering your question, but from what I recall the BCD of Ekar and the Chorus 12 sub-compact cranks are the same, so I think you could use an Ekar ring with that particular 4 arm Campy crank.

That's interesting, I didnt know that. It does further complicate things that currently there are apparently a few different 4-arm Campag BCDs. The regular 130ish, the subcompact chorus, and I assume something different for the newest super record and those subcompact options.

There is an easy enough workaround for that.

So normal 110 bcd and filing down the offset hole?

I have a standard 110 bcd narrow wide incoming and was gonna file it to test but wanted to check if there actually are campy specific 1x rings

The only company off hand that makes Campy chainrings that I have used is Gearoop KOM challengers. You might be able to get them to work. It’s not cheaper if that is what you’re trying to find.

Been looking at gearoop for their sub-compact over the years but never gone for them.

Didn’t know they also did 1x specific chainrings for campa 5 arm.

Not having success with searching, but somewhere there's a post (maybe from Mark McM or benb) giving the BCDs of all the above, that is where I learned about the Chorus & Ekar common BCD.
Edit: found it, twas Mark McM:

Quote:
Ekar and 12spd Chorus share the same 123mm BCD and and can share chainrings, but Super Record WRL has different BCDs ( 121mm outside/88mm inside), so it can't share chainrings with any other group set.

Note: For Chorus cranks, the cranks themselves have no bolt holes for the inner chainring, but instead the inner chainring bolts to the outer chainring on a 96mm BCD. So technically you could use an Ekar crank as a 2x crank with Chorus chainrings. However, the Ekar rear derailleur is not compatible with a 2x drivetrain.
