One pair might have been due to a crash the others seemed to be around the one year old mark, so I generally change them as soon as I start getting any creaking.
At 13 1/2 stone I guess the honking up hills does it pulling on the bars, I've been lucky so far twice over what was left of the bars and did a rolling breakfall Judo style no damage and one nasty bit of road rash on my backside after executing a lovely breakfall but still doing about 20mph on my arse.
