  • Got a brand new DuraAce 9100 crankset here with a plastic preload cap - I've just checked. You can buy alloy ones aftermarket with an allen key fitting rather than the odd Shimano splined fitting, but I'm not aware of any Shimano cranks with alloy preload caps.

    BTW, the screenshots posted above look nothing like any version of LFGSS I've ever seen.

    Yeah, it was my misunderstanding. I thought it was being suggested that the crank arm bolts pinch bolts were made of plastic.

    It was clarified that actually they are made of cheese and everyone carried on as before.
