How long did the cane creek last for? Just had S-3 fitted to mine and hope being a skinflint wasn't false economy.
It had been in there for 7 years, but with 8-ish bikes in the fleet and no enthusiasm for getting wet, none of my bikes has a hard life. It went a bit loose at the weekend, so I got a new one just in case*, but the Cane Creek I just took out has lots of life left in it, and I'm now assuming that the loosening was just down to the stem walking up the steerer due to some particularly maladroit move on my part.

*and because the Crank Bros was on sale for £20
