Full details
These Campagnolo Ekar Crank Boots are designed for gravel riders seeking to protect their Ekar chainset's crank ends from impacts and abrasions. They offer essential defense against scuffs and minor bumps encountered on rough terrain, ensuring the longevity of your crankset. A key benefit is the direct, secure fit provided by a genuine Campagnolo part. The primary caveat is that they are specifically designed for the Ekar system and may not be compatible with other chainsets.

Troubleshooting
Boots do not fit securely
Ensure you are attempting to fit them to a genuine Campagnolo Ekar crankset. Verify that the crank arm is clean and free of debris. Consult the official Campagnolo installation guide for the correct orientation.
Boots are torn or damaged
Replace the damaged boot immediately to ensure continued protection. If both boots are damaged, consider purchasing a new pair.
Difficulty installing boots
Ensure the crank arm end is clean and dry. Try gently twisting the boot as you push it onto the crank arm. Do not force the boot, as this may cause damage.
