  • Has anyone received a set of replacement cranks yet? I dropped a set that had debonded but that I had kept for some reason at my LBS the first week of the recall.

    I last checked in with them at the beginning of Dec but they hadn't had anything back from Shimano yet.

    Luckily these are just a spare set but if they had been off a bike, I would have been unable to ride it for 3 months and counting.

  • I got mine back 4 or so weeks after dropping it off at LBS.

    I guess it depends how many Shimano UK (Madison) are dealing with at any one time.

    My crank had a few gaps along the bond lines. So I guess it's good to replace an 8 year old set of cranks but the replacements don't look nearly as good as DA9000.
    There are debates out there on if the crank itself is modified for 11 speed (e.g. chainring tabs) or if the modifications are all in the 11speed outer chainring.

    I still can't get my head around this "inspection" based recall. I get that it makes sense from a business perspective, but I wonder what would happen if somone had a failure after an "inspection" pass, and before the next "inspection" and sued. Shimano would surely have no argument...
