We should talk in miles/km, not in years/months when we talk about gear longevity.
The bike could stay two years in the garage, the pedals would look as new :)
johnnydamage:
lets say at least 80hrs of riding.

Still not a very good way to measure a part's durability. Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just laying this down so you can appreciate why we're measuring in distance rather than time.
80hrs, if we assume you do 5hrs of riding each day, that is like 16 days out of 730 days (2 years). For your reference, I usually ride on weekends with a few short rides on weekdays. Averaging 80km a week (some folks here averages over 200km a week). There's 52 weeks a year, so 80km multiplied by 52 weeks is around 4,160km a year. And that is just an estimate (I do 200-300kms on long Holidays). Assuming that I do 5hrs ride each time, that would be 4,160km divided by 5hrs, giving me 832 hrs worth of riding in a year. You've done 80hrs in 2 years... not exactly reliable data to base the durability of these Chinese Ti Spindles.
Again, please don't take this the wrong way. I'm not mocking or demeaning your rides or opinions.
