Most durable long lasting parts... give us your top 5's

All the bits on my KHS basically - pretty much untouched since 1996

1. Toga Revolver Cranks
2. XT thumbies
3. Hope Ti-glide hubs
4. Flite saddle
5. XTR M900 rear mech
 
How about a big shout out to a Morrow Hub - can you say 70 years young and still has grooves on the original shoes. Overbuilt to the max - just repack and rerace :D
 
Sachs Quarz mechs (original silver anodized version)
Magura RS22 (Racelines/Tomacs)
X-Lite Ti bars
Selle Italia Novus saddle
Hope Fatso hubs
 
Still using....
1988 Deore 6 speed Thumbies

1988 Deore U-brake and 4 finger Levers (I'm finally replacing them for asthetic reasons - not because they don't work)

1991 Hope front hub on it's first set of bearings

1993? Mag 21's - Unserviced, pumped up once - I think keeping the boots on helped these survive although they were never actually raced.
 
1. XT derailleurs M737
2. XT rear hub M737
3. UN-72 bottom bracket (UN-51 died in short order)
4. Sugino Impel 700 cranks

umm...

...nothing else has lasted the distance. Although my Middleburn hardcoat rings nearly qualify.
 
:oops: Sorry never had any thing longer than a year!!!. If i could choose then it would be Trimble frame 222 Not that i have it any more :cry: but the person who owns it. Is happy with it still so it lasted 13 years. But alas un like the Bullseye cranks which were on it- RIP :cry:
 
1. Original XT SPD's
2. Pace Sub30 straight bars (like new)
3. Icon Titanium bar ends
4. Original Flite Titanium
5. Blackburn Mtn1 pump (although just stopped pumping the other day, should have lifetime warranty!)
 
All lasted through from '91 - '92 and still being used:

XT B/B
XT rear mech
XC Pro thumbies
Onza HO pedals
Dia-Compe 986 cantis
