Master  9666      Raleigh, NC area |  Subject: RE: Marvelous Manatees - Stronger than Ever!Originally posted by amd723 Originally posted by jmkizer Originally posted by amd723 Originally posted by jmkizer Originally posted by jmkizer I'm sure that everyone has seen this because it's been all over various formus but just in case... 11-Speed Bonded Hollowtech II Road Cranksets https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2023/Shimano-Recalls-Cranksets-for-Bicycles-Due-to-Crash-Hazard If you have an 11-speed bike with a Shimano crankset, your first step will be to check the number stamped on it stamped on your crankset. Not every single parts 11-speed is affected. The recalled models have printed ‘Ultegra’ or Dura Ace’ logos on the arm. Check the two letters at the end of the stamp and see if it matches the recall notice. If it does, get thee to your local bike shop. Yup, I'm affected. I contacted my mechanic for an inspection.
Is that your gravel bike? I need to check mine. No the gravel bike has a GRX crankset and it sounds like an issue with the Ultregra and Dure-Ace product lines. This is the road bike that I purchased in March 2020. Supposedly newer road cranksets are not affected. Ah, ok I think my road bike and tri bike are probably way too old to be affected, but will check to be sure. Maybe? They are saying the date range is January 2012 through August 2023 and it could be that you had work done and parts replaced. I'd still check it. I'm not overly concerned but I don't want to ignore it either. I mean, it does not seem to be a high percentage of failure but it could be really bad if it happened to you. |

I have two that are likely included - both were taken off our tri bikes shortly after purchasing in 2014 and 2015. Guess I have to dig them out - thanks for the heads up! |
