What's the oldest part on your bike? and when do you feel you'll ever replace it?
Mine's the pegs, goin on a little less than 5 & a half years old now. I don't have any plans to replace them anytime soon even though the rear peg has a split down it haha.
What about you guys?

Fork or rear hub. Fork is an old Sputnic, I think I've had for 3 years ish. Rear hub is a Stolen Roulette that I've only had about 6 months but was on my friends bike for like 4 years.

Germany valve caps maybe 2 yrs old or monolever/backwheel, shit idk. Everything else is bought recently used ( bought entire bike from someone here)
Valve caps will stay forever and will maybe soon have the lock i keep forgetting to put in them that tightens onto the valve stem. Probably buy the same set again for my car....

My FSA Impact headset, which is now almost 3 and a half years old. I've switched out bearings maybe like twice and they weren't even half gone bad yet. The headset was easily a year or two old as well when switched to me. And also my Shadow Slimmer pivotal seat, which is about 3 years old. I had my first rip in it about 2 months ago. Already deciding on a new seat.

I don't really have anything crazy old. The oldest stuff on my bike is probably my odyssey forks and the wheelset, i think they're around 2 1/2 years old now and I've been riding them pretty much since I got into bmx. Probably going to get new forks and throw the odyssey's on my extra freecoaster bike im working on building up with spare parts.

My oldest part are my spokes, almost 2 years old. They are pretty fucked and have been laced to 2 different rims and 2 different hubs, but not at the same time. Next are my fly ruben pcs pedals close to 2 years..

I dont do pedal grinds much ahha (just a few times actually). THey dont ship perfect, and i would buy a new pair, but theres always that brokes before pedals, so i hardly ever have the money to remplace them haha. PLus when i buy new pedals i want alloy/metal pedals, and they are expensive, so if a sale comes out, i might buy new ones, but only if they are like 40euro or so for a good pair.
I am thinking about ordering some from albes, if they cheat the taxes i would order right now hahah.

You should look at the duo TRLs £29.99 they look decent, and pretty cheap for alloy pedals.
Alloy body pedals from Duo. These pedals feature a heat treated crmo spindle and have a generous concave and 12 pins each side to suit trails riders and those of you who like some grip on your pedals.

Bar ends or headset dust cap.
Easily 5+ years old now.
My Odyssey Brake lever is about 4-5 years old now I think too.

I forgot about those!
My Twisteds are probably about 2 1/2-3 years old? Had em on my Raw Profile cranks, on my Eastern frame which i sold over 2 years go. Nice!
And they last that long if you don't bash them on stuff, don't pedal grind, and don't throw your bike.

The oldest part on my bike right now is my bar ends, They are the Kink Lightest bar ends I have had them a few years now and ill replace them when they eventually break. I usually wait till my parts break before replacing them or when I get some free parts I might switch off the old part if its in bad shape.
