Re: how many km's on bike to replace

Many riders ride 30,000+km per year. Do you think they all replace their bike every 9 months? No they don't. Bikes last as long as they stay intact. You only need to replace/upgrade when they get worn or get damaged ie. Many many years for most bikes.

You just keep replacing the bits as they wear out until you get bitten by the upgrade bug.

Re: how many km's on bike to replace
I know some cyclopats that ride bikes (commuting) from the 70:s? The key is endless love towards the bike, taking care of quality makes it... Immortal?!
