11K+ miles on the original Tange Rollerball HS on my '99 Joe Starck, ditto for Phil bb and rear hub. Very little rain but a lot of dust, no fenders. All feel as new. On Mon, Apr 2, 2012 at 7:30 AM, shawn wrote: > How many miles can one expect to get out of a typical headset and > bottom bracket?

I've been using Chris King headsets since 1992. Never had one wear out or go bad. I used them on road bikes, mountain bikes, and city bikes. They last and are reliable. Grant used to sell them. James Valiensi, PE Northridge, CA On Apr 2, 2012, at 5:09 PM, Bill M. wrote: > 1995 Riv Road -
