The 'Un-Official' Campagnolo Ekar thread

[Wangsanegara]

As far as I know, Carbon-Ti has the N3W freebub available since late December. I placed order for their Hub and its on the way.

Another company who has the N3W already is Tune.

So I am a disc luddite - the Ekar brakes come filled but what if I need to bleed them. Which bleed kit and oil do I need. I see the H11 bleed kit and blue oil, but I think Ekar takes a red oil.

Thanks

Do you have the DTs freehubs backordered? Can I put my name on your list?

Ekar takes a new Red Blood disc fluid. You can order some from who ever you get the brakes from. Shops would have it as well. I have not tried mixing the Royal Blood and Red Blood and have not tried to use the Royal Blood in Ekar so I don't know if it will work. I assume it will though but don't quote me on it.

Nice. I ordered a set of hubs from them in early December. They said it would take two weeks to manufacture before shipping to me. I finally cancelled last week. They couldn't give me a firm date as to when they might ship.

Yes. It's the same rotors for the entire Campagnolo line.

[R3awak3n]

The rotors are compatible with any disc brake system. I used then on a sram bike snd they worked good.

Ah. This is cool. Like for 10 or 11 (or 12 speed) set-ups?

I'd love a Campy 165mm 1x crank for my 1x11 commuter/city bike.

Campagnolo has two different constructions of rotor:

Rotor 03 - 99gr (140mm)

Ekar Rotor - 123gr (140mm) built with a stainless steel spider.
