    PSA Shimano crank recall

    Shimano recalled a bunch of road cranks - details:

    https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2023/Sh...o-Crash-Hazard

    Not sure how useful a bike shop inspection is going to be. I'm pretty sure I can look for separation or cracks as well as a shop.

    None of the recalled cranks are carbon.

    spend a lot of time riding road bike through rocks?

    680,000 crank sets is no small number
    what's orange and looks good on hippies?

    rails are for trains
    If I had a dollar for every time capitalism was blamed for problems caused by the government I'd be a rich fat film maker in a baseball hat.

    I had one of these cranks (ultegra 6800 I think) fail/delaminate on me during a ride several years ago, and in order to get home, I had to pedal 25ish miles with just my left leg, while the driveside was simply a place to rest my foot. Any force applied on that side caused the crankarm to separate further from the spider. Standing up was not an option.

    Are you using axle grease as chain lube? Your cranks probably broke just to protest the amount of gunk on your drivetrain.

    Shimano's guide to inspecting the cranks -- what they want bike shops to do, or you can look at them yourself:
