Life of 2005 Scott CR1

I have a 2005 Scott CR1 Team Issue Dura-Ace full carbon fiber frame and fork with aluminum dropouts. How long should this bike be ridden?

hello guest,

How many km are you riding a year? Do you do some maintenance or never clean it after ride in the rain? Technically you can keep the bike 20 years with minimum maintenance... and if you not gaining 100kg!

As long as you don't hit or got an accident the bike should last for a while, really depends on you and the abuse.

Have a nice ride..

It should never be ridden more than 36 hrs in one stretch. It causes major chaffing after that.
