What presumably negative reviews put you off Ekar? The reviews I saw when it first came out looked generally positive. Although some reviewers did appear to mildly criticise the Campy shift quality ie they thought it was a bit more clunky than Shimano. Other reviewers thought it was good. The Ekar brakes seem to be universally praised.
Personally I would like to see an electronic version of Ekar as I do like the 1x13 setup and I’m well sold on the inherent benefits of electronic shifting.
