Genesis Day One Crankset recall

[CXRAndy]

If you have a Day One, check the crank-set for these markings. Genesis are offering to replace FOC - probably due to poor quality reliability

You might receive a similar letter from your supplier

Tried two iPads with no joy so googled your title and found all the info. Doesn’t affect my Day One but thanks for the heads up.

Oh, I hadn't realised you were using proprietary software

I can see from the photos that the new crank arms are beefier/stronger looking. I wonder if they have had a few failures

I really cant be bothered to ferry my bike for a 50 mile round trip, when I could do the job myself-if only they would send me the parts.

aye well its free and can be combined with the new bike check over I get on the 2018 model bought on black Friday at half price (I am a tight yorkshireman but could not stop the drool when I saw it) and with the money saved may poke my finger at some avid bb7 upgrade and see what they say

I got my bike at a reduced price. First job was to replace the crap cable brakes with hydraulic s. Fit dynamo lights system and decent panniers. Next job Di2 Alfine 11 hub

The Di2 alfine hub was really nice on mine if used regularly. If not the oil in the hub settles and then its not slick at changing for a while.
The original brakes were shocking and I'd have preferred rim brake over those standard disc brakes!

My Alfine 11 had the well known at the time second gear problem.

Shimano changed it out of warranty, also building the new one into the wheel.

The hub may have been improved by now, but the general feeling was that it's not quite as robust and reliable as the eight speeds.

Im probably going to swap the oil for semi fluid grease/oil combo. There are good reports of better protection with these combination mixes

Im getting the SG7051 version, which has some upgraded internals.
