I don't know yet.... I have a 2001 Custom with a Tange BB (or is it Shimano?... no matter they're the same), with unknown but many miles on it (rough estimate 35,000-50,000 miles). It is a fair day bike but has been caught in several drenching thunderstorms. Anyway the BB is still running smooth and fine. I also have a 2004 Tange BB in my Salsa mountain bike in the same smooth condition. That bike has seen much dust and some mud. My sample set of 2 says they will last a very long time.
