wheelz Posted October 15, 2009 Share ok so iv started riding my mtb a LOT more now and my road bike is just being left for a weekend ride, but want to know what is the avg life time of mtb components(XT) and tires(Maxxis) if i ride on the road and off road? is the wear on the mtb much more than the road bike? wheelz2009-10-15 10:42:27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatic Posted October 16, 2009 Share Im sure some one can give average figures,but yes it is more taxing on an mtb..maintanance plays a huge role here,especially when you go offroad.As far as tyres go,it depends on the profile,tread design and compound,u may see the tyre starting to wear "square" with excessive road use.

Dicky DQ Posted October 16, 2009 Share Depends where and how you ride as well as how you look after your chain/s. I have had anything from 500 to 1500km from a chain and 1000 to 5000km from a BB. The casette and chainrings is depedent on chain ware and maintenance. IMHO there is no comparison to road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPW# Posted October 17, 2009 Share Xt should only last 1 Trans Baviaans in the rain, thats 230ks of mud and 6ks of wear and tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
