let it wear to 0.75%, then replace chain and sprockets
straight through to 1.0 then replace, chainrings every 3/4 chains ish
Just get the chain clean with gt85 and a tea towel, bit of proper lube now and again.
Rims, ispropyl alcohol as often as possible.
Seatpost isopropyl regularly.
rims, get a flat surface, you will see the concave.

On the component life/cleaning issue - what's people's approach to washing the bike? I tend to wipe and lube the chain every so often, let it wear to 0.75%, then replace chain and sprockets, wipe the rims and blocks every so often, and give the bike a proper clean every couple of months (I hate washing bikes, especially commuters that are going to have to go through the wet again tomorrow...)
I guess I should check the rims sometime soon - replace at 1mm thickness?
