The Campagnolo EKAR GT crankset is a top - notch choice for gravel, road, and cyclocross cycling. It features two aluminum crank arms paired with Ultra - Torque semi - axles made of AISI 630 steel. This combination offers both strength and light weight, just like the rest of the EKAR GT groupset.

Using the Campagnolo EKAR GT crankset is straightforward. First, make sure it's properly installed on your bike. If you need to change the chainring, it's easy - just unscrew it from the four arms of the crank without having to take the whole crankset apart. When riding, you'll notice the efficient power transmission due to the optimized tooth design, which helps you pedal smoothly.
Here are some important notes. Avoid using excessive force when pedaling, as it may cause unnecessary wear on the components. Also, keep the chain clean and lubricated regularly to ensure good performance and extend the lifespan of the chainrings.
For maintenance, check the oversize stainless steel bearing race on the crank fitted to the semi - axle periodically. You can easily access it for inspection and maintenance without dismantling the cups. If you notice any unusual noises or movements during riding, stop and check the crankset for any loose parts or damage. If there are any issues, it's best to take it to a professional bike mechanic for further examination and repair.
