1x Campagnolo Ekar drivetrain
Moderator: Moderator Team
From the brand-new issue of Road Bike Action: "Although the word on the streets is that Campy has a 1x system coming down the pike...". Very interesting to me! Has anyone else heard about this? Since I've just about worn out my SRAM mechanical drivetrain by riding right through the winter 3 years in a row, I'm up for something new and I do love nothing more than the feel of Campy shifting and braking. I have seen some patents from them with a new cassette interface with a 10 tooth cog, but nothing else...

I was just about to drop for a mechanical 2 x 12 gruppo but I'll hold for off a bit now, as I'm more of an 'all-road' guy who appreciates the utter simplicity of a 1x drivetrain and a clutched derailleur.

Rotor 13? Hmmmm.. I tried it at a bike show. Very vage shifting. you cant feel the indexing. And the levels are made for giants.
A pitty because I was really intrigued by this hydro setup. (closed system, little maintenance, no batteries to charge)
As a fan of 2x Campy, riding lots of gravel, I cannot say I'm too excited.
I'd rather see new rd with 11-37 capacity and more 'shadowy' design (current ones are quite prone to breakage in case of fall). 1x was never too appealing, as I could not see any problem with 2x.
Said that, 1x13 might eliminate the need for fd even on the road. Quite interesting.

Here's the link to the patent I mentioned, with a 10 tooth cog: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis ... 2004A1.pdf

Well I have been using1x11record for sometime. Looks like it will be 1x12.

It's 12x in the patent, but most rumors habe been about 13x
Wireless I hope not because it will cost a fortune and if it's a gravel-intended group those fancy components will get coated in mud. A mechanical 1x13 would be excellent if the pricing is not horrendous.

What rumors? I would get a (at least Chorus level) Campy 1 x 13 without a second of hesitation.
