I ask this because everyone at my park is alwayss tradin their shit and its annoying, then they bitch at me on how i've had the same setup for 6 months when my scooter is legit. The reason i DO have the same setup is cuz i buy good parts to start out with and they last me ha

replace it when i breaks, or when something new comes out. for example, threshold came out, sold my old deck for it.

I replace wheels every other month or so because they dehub. Other than that, only when stuff snaps or becomes unrideable.

but so far i've had my current setup for 2 months and a half haha

bearings every half a year
wheels 6-10 months depending on how much I ride

I'm too poor for new parts, and there's nobody who rides here to trade with. I don't want to trade with people on SR, because not many of them are close enough to insure that I'll get my parts.
So I just ride parts until they break, and I only buy new parts if mine are broken. So I'm still riding my rup v2 from the beginning of 2011.

The only thing I've changed recently are my wheels, forks, and deck.

Wheels were 6 months ago because my old ones were worn almost to the cores, forks because my old ones broke after almost three years of riding them, and deck because I wanted to upgrade to the Threshold and I didn't want to pass up an opportunity to get one early.

I don't change parts besides my deck unless they break. Next part I change will be my grips, bars, and clamp because my grips are finally about to have holes in them, bars because they're too short, and clamp because it's about to break.

Had everything but the grips + griptape for 6 months. I really only change my griptape cos my current grips (addict) are amazing.
