@DeltaWye asks:

Q7. Is there a rule of thumb for #bicycles that don’t get used often where the tires should be changed out after so many years?

(What else should be changed periodically, based on time, regardless of usage?)

@ascentale @DeltaWye @bikenite A7 #BikeNite From experience, it's complete luck of the draw and/or brand-by-brand. I've for eg, Hutchinson/Mavic tyres still good barely ridden in ~8 years but then Panaracer GravelKings that are perished after 18 months.

I've worn out GravelKings in that time. Some combination of less natural latex and a thinner tread for performance, perhaps?
