ciao, vi è mai capitato di dover ricollegare il tubo freni alla pinza (devo cambiare il tubo per cambio telaio ed il tubo precedente è corto), che tubo avete usato? quello originale già con il banjo terminale (60 eurozzi....) uno compatibile? in questo caso quale? anche nell'idea di riutilizzare il cavo originale che spina e oliva avete utilizzato (originale trovo solo la scatola da 10 pezzi ad un costo assurdo). Esiste qualcosa di compatibile? e come
olio? usate solo il suo o ad esempio il magura royal blood che campy stessa dice essere compatibile con ekar? grazie mille delle risposte, ciao
dal forum WW sembra che ci sia totale compatibilità con ogive e benjo magura (di conseguenza direi che anche il tubo si lo stesso)

Hi everyone. New to the forum. I've been following this thread while I was swapping my
SRAM Rival 1X drivetrain with mech disc brakes (TRP Spyre) out for Ekar on my custom steel
gravel bike.
I bought the parts used from various sources and I got the brifters cheaply with no calipers. Since it is common knowledge that Magura supplied parts at least for Gen1 of Campags disc brake system, I thought I'd attempt a Campigura setup.
At least in Germany where I live, Magura components are quite easy to find used, Magura being a German company. I got a set of their MT8 SL flatmount calipers. The pads are identical with Campags Gen1 brakes. Both systems also use the magnetic pad retention. I don't know whether the caliper pistons are actually identical but I measured them and they seem to be the same 22mm that Campy states for theirs. Also, Magura barbs and olives are identical to Campy disc brakes.
I actually think these calipers at least on paper are superior to Campy's because they're one piece and they're lighter at 96g per caliper.
Now using these requires a banjo fitting on the caliper which means in this setup you have a banjo fitting on both ends of the brake line. I've never seen that before on bicycle disc brakes so I wasn't sure whether the flow rate would still be good enough. But I can now safely say that it works absolutely great. The bite point is very refined, easy lever action, great modulation and plenty of power.
Rotors are Formula Monolithic 160mm. which I had been using with my TRP Spyres before. I'm currently riding this bike in the Bohemian forests and mountains and I've been riding down some pretty steep descents whilst having to keep dragging the brakes to negotiate rocks and roots. I also did high speed road descents. Pad retraction is great. I get no rubbing and no disc warping, so I'm pretty happy. Maybe this info helps other people out there.
