RIP Ultegra 8000 cranks

PSA: When your cranks are creaking there’s a reason for it.
I’m pretty sure I caught this one just in time. Cranks are 4 years old from my gravel bike, this is apparently where all the hollow tech cranks have failed where the aluminium is bonded together.

Stole the peasant 105 cranks from the Zwift mobile for now…

I've seriously Warrantied 100 pairs of those fucking things at this point.

How has shimano not issued a recall on these things? Do I even bother trying to get it warrantied or just buy a new FSA or Easton crankset?

There's nothing wrong with the cost effectiveness Shimano 105.

first one and then the other, then sell the replacements 🤣

Because it is likely still a fraction of the % of cranks sold.
As much as I rag on sram, their cranksets are the business for road cranks. For me it would go:
1. Sram
2. Shimano







10. Fsa







23. Easton

I'm not sure how they haven't addressed it. The reps won't even acknowledge it's a thing.
