Product Details
The new C13 chain is a key part of the Ekar GT mechanical groupset. It not only offers efficient power transmission but also ensures smooth and quick gear - shifting during gravel riding, always keeping you safe. This chain is incredibly strong and long - lasting, excelling on all fronts. The C13 chain pairs well with the special tooth profile of the Ekar GT 1x13 - speed crankset chainring and sprockets, providing a safe, efficient, and smooth power transfer. Despite its slender profile, it's very robust. The C60 steel inner links with nickel - Teflon surface treatment can withstand the heavy wear and tear on gravel paths. The entire chain, made at the Campagnolo facility in Vicenza, goes through a special ultrasonic bath lubrication process. This ensures that the special lubricant evenly coats all links, resulting in high efficiency and resilience. It can handle tough off - road conditions and needs less maintenance. The Ekar GT C13 chain comes with two connection options: the classic Campagnolo pin or the new C - Link™ for easier removal and cleaning. These two versions are designed to meet the diverse needs of gravel riders around the world. Whether you're a hardcore gravel enthusiast, a long - distance endurance racer, or an all - road adventurer, both versions offer the same durability and efficiency thanks to the same materials and processes. Specifications: Strong and long - lasting; Special tooth profile for efficient transmission, smooth shifting, and maximum safety; Narrow profile for lightness, strength, and efficiency; Durable links in steels with variable carbon content and surface treatments for wear resistance; Exclusive ultrasonic bath lubrication system for long - term efficiency; Available in classic pin and C - Link versions for all types of gravel riders; Weight: 242 G (117 LINKS / C - LINK) / 242 G (118 LINKS / PIN) with classic pin or C - Link.
Using the Campagnolo Ekar GT 13 - Speed Chain is straightforward. First, choose the connection option that suits you best - the classic pin or the C - Link™. The C - Link™ is easier for quick removal and cleaning. When installing the chain, make sure it meshes well with the Ekar GT 1x13 - speed crankset chainring and sprockets. During your gravel rides, the chain will handle the rough terrain well, but it's a good idea to check for any visible damage regularly. For maintenance, thanks to the special ultrasonic bath lubrication process, the chain requires less upkeep. However, after long rides or in very dirty conditions, you can clean it with a mild bike cleaner. Then, re - lubricate it with a high - quality bike chain lubricant to keep it running smoothly. Store the chain in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust and corrosion. This way, your chain will serve you well for a long time.
