Any chance Shimano will cover that by 2 year g'tee, or are you looking for a crankset deal again?
Just to update on this - no change for me - but read comments online that some users had theirs replaced by LBS which had sold/fitted as an 'act of goodwill' and no idea if that means Shimano covered the replacements as part of any dealer policy.
I would have thought that Shimano would warranty them out of normal because its a well known and accepted problem.
Accepted? Found no record that Shimano accepted it as a known problem. Plenty of others do and Shimano have confirmed it happens, but also state no responsibility or design flaw. Hambini has a good video on it and by Pauls comment figure GCN are too - but I didn't see or look for something from them?
If anyone has that to hand and any info then let me know. Happy to send this crankarm somewhere rather than just put it in the bin.
By all accounts the R7000 arms are solid? But I don't quite understand how they would still call them 'Hollowtech' if that was the case?
trying to get back into cycling but I'll be honest.. I hate my bike! I just want something comfy-ish with fatter tyres and decent groupo.. - say 1000-1500 budget, anything that's worth looking into?
current is a sensa SLE with 105 grouppo but I'm just not feeling right on it no matter what I do. Sizing wise it's no different to my previous bikes but its just a jarring frame - alu. My previous holdsworth carbon frame was lovely compared to this even on 25mm with 100psi in them.
GURDERERRS! Good to see you still lurking mate. Ummm can't comment but as you liked the Holdsworth before, why not look at another or something else from PX. They would have options I'm sure. Not sure what lead you to the Sensa, not a brand I'm familiar with but do recognise the name from somewhere...! Or look around for some trade-ins. Plenty of lockdown buyers now working back in the office, or at home and feeling the pinch so should be some deals around.
Lovely weather for a ride today. All went a bit wrong though.

Similar to ours! 13 started out, only 4 did the 'long route' and made it home! 3 punctures within the first hour, including me picking up a cut/split in my tyre which wouldn't seal. Put a worm in and after re-adding air a couple of times (& my pump giving up holding any decent pressure) I eventually gave in and put a tube in. Just after the biggest 'incident' of the morning... Clubmate hit a stone on a descent, in a group of 4-5 riders. SOMEHOW he didn't hit anyone else, or go straight over the bars, amazingly landing in the hedgerow. Unsure if it was the stone, the road or the hedge but broke his forks clean off at the headtube! So so lucky as things couldn't been so much worse! He didn't even have any holes in his kit, just a bang on the foot lots of scuffs and a scrape on his helmet. Incredibly lucky considering where it was, the marks on the road and with other riders around him! Not so lucky with the 3 year old Canyon...! Frame was a warranty replacement last autumn for some cracks in it already!
Any Tubeless & hookless tyre recommendations? Really don't rare these Pirelli P-Zero Race TLR for these roads. Obviously not tough enough, I've had 4 cuts/holes which wouldn't seal and they've only been on there 13 months, with probably only 7 months of that active. Currently looking at the Vittoria Corsa N.EXT TLR in 28mm...
