Nice build ... campag really needs to go electronic with ekar. After a few ultra races my right thumb is getting bigger than the left from the continuous workouts ......

Mi piaceva più la capuccino

[@uglykidjoker2263]

Nice video. What does the "GF2" stand for? And where to buy?

[@giovannizorra3803]

Hello! Are Tires Continental Terra Trail TR hookless compatible? Thank you :)

[@philipbustamante4720]

What's the use of the one you sprayed on frame at the end?

[@roadbikechannel]

that's bike polish 👍

[@mikezanconato]

I need one of those torque wrenches that he used on the brake compression nut. That is genius. Can anyone point me in the direction of where to find one?

[@roadbikechannel]

try this googling this: Magura Drehmomentschlüssel 4 Nm inkl 8 mm Steckschlüssel Aufsatz thats only gonna work with Magura or Campa, for any other which need more than 4Nm we'd recommend the crowfoot 8mm or something like this: www.amazon.de/Sourcingmap-a16011600ux0952-100-8-mm-Steckschlüssel-Schlitz-Verlängerung/dp/B01G980PKQ/ref=asc_df_B01G980PKQ/?tag=googshopde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=273320169282&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7416332149664931051&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9113419&hvtargid=pla-465620487325&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

[@mikezanconato]

@@roadbikechannel thank you so much!

[@wolfgangkemna6882]

Der Schrauber is aber schlank gworn ? ;)

[@CHIP543]

more real video, close to reality, without kilograms of lubricant)))

[@eurobubble7068]

18:03 this doesnt look good, either not greased enough or a poor fit.

[@audax333]

This is typical for Ekar, it's usually not because of a bad fit, but because of the friction os the seals. They've gone a bit far with protecting the bearings from grime.

A lovely bike. I've always been fond of the carbon Silexes. The beautifully sloping top tube and non-dropped seat stays make all the difference in the world. The only couple of things I'm not too keen on (in practical, not aesthetic - terms) - are the long reach (I like the stack!) and the pressfit / non-threaded bb. Visually, I deem the decals (both the position and the design) somewhat ugly and wish the frame colours included something like Trek's Purple Flip or some comparably beautiful paint job. Even so, it's probably a top-10 gravel bike by the virtue of its looks alone. Not too far off of my favourites in the Salsa WarBird and the Bastion Cycles road range rigs.
