Let's talk about bottom bracket tools, chain whip, chain break tools, cassette tools of both Campagnolo and Shimano and clear the air as to what is compatible. Also a trick to convert you Park Tool CT-5 chain breaker to work with a 13 speed Ekar chain and avoid shelling out for a ridiculously expensive campy tool. Simply insert a thin metal washer to take up the space as seen in the photo. #hackorbodge #gravelbike #cycling #ekar #parktools #campagnolo

    i just tried installing 13s ekar pin with park tool ct 3.3 and it seemed to bend the pin so bad that it bent the link. I read somewhere the campy 13s pins are hollow so maybe too much deformation on pin from end of tool? My understanding is shimano pins are solid. Maybe thats why the $300 campy tool is needed? it's highway robbery. I've about had it with campy after chasing ekar parts around the world just to get the install done....
