This may actually fix the problem, because most of these cranks last forever. Hard to feel fully confident in it as a fix. |

The 12 speed cranks aren't bonded?

The majority of cranks supposedly fail due to moisture that enters the drive side axle. The newer 12 speed cranks are still bonded however Shimano has plugged the axle hole to fix the problem.

I have 2 of the 6800 (1 on my bike and 1 on the wife's bike) that fall within the scope of the recall and an R8000 in the box I still need to double check the production code. Whether or not ours get replaced, I am tempted to replace them now with alternatives (as others have suggested).
Which would you choose (appears to be an inexpensive price to pay for piece of mind)? $150 Shimano R7000 (no BB change needed) $180 Praxis Alba (all metal, needs new BB) $275 Praxis Zayante (metal and carbon, needs new BB) I am tempted to use this as an excuse to finally upgrade my bike to the R8000 kit I have (still in the box) with the Ultegra RX clutch rear derailleur and get the Praxis Carbon crank. And, swap my wife's crank for the R7000. Thoughts? *Anybody want to purchase a lightly worn 170mm 11x28 6800 groupset after the swap on my bike? |

I'm going to buy some Praxis Zayante cranks and BB and be done with it. I just want to ride my bike, it's my break from computers and their warranties and recalls associated.

Riding on the road? Meh. Not needed and slightly affects shifting. Note: slightly I keep seeing lots of handwringing over this. Reminds me of the virus kerfuffle in that way: lots of ado about not much. Yes, the people that have been affected have had a problem. 6 injuries over darn near 800k cranks?! That's 0.007% 4519 affected cranks over that darn near 800k?! Like was posted above that's ~0.6%. Keep and ear and eye on the things and keep riding cause it isn't likely you're going to have a problem. M |

My DA 9100 crank purchased in 2017 from Merlin Cycles doesn't have a two letter code so I guess I'm safe (in theory).

Also, because it's a picture, I'm assuming that it's a lighting issue. But there looks like there's a gap on the left side of the crankset? If that's actually a gap, stop riding those asap. Quote:

Is that an electric bike/motor?
Not sure all cranks have warranties that will cove this specific "use case". |
