>bar-tapeThat stuff is like 5€ and you don't need to change it that often

>wheel hubsThey also last many years
>pedalsPlastic ones maybe, but proper metal ones or clipless basicly last forever

>chainsetLasts about three to five chains.
> cassette Costs like 10-20€ every year or so.
>chainCosts like 10-20€ as well, when maintained properly you get about one season out of it.
>jockey wheelsIt takes realy fucking long untill they go bad and replacement is fucking cheap.
>wheelsHave my wheels for about 5 years now, still working great.
>tiresMy tires wear out so slow that I can't measure it, going to replace them after 5 years anyway since rubber goes bad over time.
>brakepads>rimsDepends on how far you are and what terrain you ride.
>all this stuff wears out quite fast, a chain is supposed to last 4000 km, if you ride 100km/ride thats only 40 rides for a chainRealy depends on maintainance and riding conditions.
