Campagnolo Ekar AFS Rotor Compatible with Shimano
Also posted this on Road Cycling thread.
Looking for any feedback on compatibility of Campagnolo Ekar AFS rotors with Shimano brake system. Ultegra 160mm rotors seem to be unobtanium right now, found some priced at $100 each. Setting up a second wheelset and want to outfit both wheelsets so they are available without having to swap rotors and cassettes. Have found some conflicting information, know the Campagnolo are slightly thicker bit that shouldn't be that big of an issue.

I presume your rotors are centerlock. Amazon and Jenson both show Shimano centerlock 160mm rotors in stock in a range of product lines. I don't think it's essential to just consider the Ultegra models and others are available.

Thanks, yes rotors are center lock. Checked Jenson and 160mm rotors are for mountain bike. For personal reasons I don't buy from Amazon, only local or internet based dedicated cycle sites to support the sport
