This new conversion kit from Ratio Technology modifies SRAM 10- or 11-speed mechanical groupsets to work with 13-speed Campagnolo Ekar<\/a> gravel groupset cassettes and chains.<\/p>\n

The 1x13C kit is comprised of a new ratchet and a pair of 12-tooth, 13-speed specific jockey wheels.<\/p>\n

A 13-speed-compatible 110mm 5-bolt chainring is also available from the brand. Ratio claims its Ratio Ring is the first aftermarket Ekar-compatible chainring on the market.<\/p>\n

The kit is priced at \u00a399.50 \/ \u20ac96.97 \/ $104.22 \/ AU$144.21 and is available now.<\/p>\n

The Ratio Ring is available in 34t, 36t and 38t options, and costs \u00a375 \/ \u20ac73.04 \/ $78.49 \/ AU$108.66<\/p>\n

This launch follows the release of a kit to convert 11-speed mechanical SRAM groupset components to work with 12-speed cassettes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why SRAMpagnolo?<\/h2>\n

Why exactly would one wish to convert SRAM shifters and derailleurs to work with 13-speed Campagnolo Ekar components?<\/p>\n

Ratio Technology says it \u201cbelieves the range and spacing of 1\u00d713 hit a sweet spot for general gravel riding\u201d, but adds \u201cthere are limitations to Ekar\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ratio Technology highlights the \u201crestrictive 38-tooth minimum chainring size, proprietary crankset and bottom bracket, lack of a power meter<\/a>, and limited crank length options\u201d as what it views as the primary drawbacks of the groupset.<\/p>\n

The brand claims its Ratio Ring \u2013 which is based around the commonplace 5-bolt 110 BCD pattern \u2013 gets around some of these issues, opening up options to use a wide number of other cranksets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As with its other conversion kits, the Ratio Technology 1x13C kit enables riders to upgrade existing parts or piece together a groupset that is compatible with modern wide-range cassettes for a lower price than a whole new groupset<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What do I need to make the kit work?<\/h2>\n

The ratchet and jockey wheels are both specific to 13-speed components.<\/span><\/figcaption> Ratio Technology<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The Ratio Technology 1x13C kit will work with any mechanical 11-speed SRAM road bike shifters. 10-speed SRAM shifters can also be converted if a separate cable spool<\/a> is purchased alongside the kit.<\/p>\n

The kit is compatible with 1x SRAM rear derailleurs from the Force 1, Rival 1 or Apex 1 family.<\/p>\n

It will also work with 11-speed SRAM mountain bike rear derailleurs, but a separate cable fin<\/a> needs to be purchased to make this combination work.<\/p>\n
