road bike wear and tear distances??
Hello,
Just woundering what the standard is on replacing road bikes is Here is what i have found myself so far: tyres: 4,500km wheels trued: 2,000km new chain 4,000km, as LBS said i will need a new back sprocket at 8,000km, so if i change my chain now slightly early it will be ready to change agian when the back cog is ready. handle bar tape: 3,000 km but it depends how hot and hilly. rims? pedals? Cleats? elbow pads on aero bars? cables? brake pads? 30% hills, and 80% of traffic light action. seat? frame? forks whole bike? does this depend on how you ride/ what you ride on/ amount of hill climbing/ amount of sh1ty roads?? What is the worst everyday treatment that will age a bike the quickest? potholes? How many km's do you do per week/ per year? |
