I'm thinking mine may be about ready to replace, but haven't really taken a good look to see if there are any splits etc.

Mine is a 2011 so the rubber isn't as old as yours, but environmental conditions and usage play a big part in their longevity too.

I'm planning on adding a shock absorber setup (not sure which one yet) to see if that helps the ride... probably at the same time I swap over to disc brakes.

Nice to hear that the shear spring rubber is not too hard to change out...

I've wondered if something like a Sulastic shackle would help our 5ers ride better...?
