    I tend to refit my cables, chain, bartape and tyres 3 times a year. So every 4 monthhs, which amounts to about 3200km for me.

    When they need doing. Once they are cut badly or puncturing more frequently then they go. I've had some down to the canvas before now and others that have been badly cut after only a few rides

    It's worth regularly inspecting the tyres for UV degredation and embedded objects in the tread.

    One does not change my own tyres - good god! how beastly!

    one employs a small team of trained servants to do it for me - non-payed of course.
