[image] Shimano Recalls Cranksets for Bicycles Due to Crash Hazard Consumers should immediately stop using the cranksets manufactured before July 1, 2019, and contact an authorized Shimano dealer to schedule a free crankset inspection. Only consumers whose cranksets show signs of bonding…

[image] cartsman: Are you sure the chain rings wouldn’t be compatible with a new crankset? I thought the differences were just cosmetic I.e. A previous generation ultegra chain ring would still fit a new ultegra crankset just might not look quite as slick. This is still up to debate to me, I …

Took my bike in and my cranks were fine but t…

[image] Class-action lawsuit filed against Shimano, Specialized and Trek over... Proposed class action lawsuit seeks trial by jury

[image] On a serious note, I think many of the points raised in the suit are legitimate…and including Trek and Specialized could be a viable argument as the issue, however minor, has been known for years yet those companies continued to spec the cranks.
