Shimano Crankset recall: bonded Hollowtech ones

[ianrauk]

Over the past year I've swapped over both my Ultegra cranksets to Spa's cranksets.
Good thing too by the look of it

Yeah, makes me immensely smug that I have 105 rather than anything "higher end" - the same for all intents and purposes, but a lot cheaper and safer. Not that I can claim this was anything more than an accident, of course.


I wonder what changed in 2019 to prevent the later cranksets failing... perhaps a change from the original bonding to the "welding" that was used from the off in the 105 units..?

I can bet that the bonding was cheaper to produce than welded version.

Are they only available in black?
I'd like a nice shiny new blue set.

Mine is on the list. It is the bike I keep in the caravan in Sunny Grange. Will contact Wheelbase over the weekend.

You tube video about the inspection process ,
Note it's not a one time pass or fail it could visually pass at this time and still fail ! At a later date
I've realised that although I've had my crankset was replaced so is not on the recall list my nds power meter crank is under the recall , So a visit to the bike shop is required at least I now know Shimano are coughing up for the inspection

Do you have to remove the crankset from the bike for it to be inspected by the dealer, or do you take the complete bike?

I do not know , A quick phone call to dealer before hand as you will probably need to book in

lol - tbh despite my high standards I've pretty consistently found their products to be excellent...

UK government report has now found the cranks don't meet current safety regulations.
So may open way to legal claims.

Shimano have really dropped the ball on this. Very disappointed.

Do you have some of the affected Ultegra cranks Cycleops?

 

[Cycleops]

Luckily no.
