They ride and handle great when first installed, but golly do they wear out in a hurry. I have a lifetime replacement guarantee on them, but I am definitely filling up the landfill with dead tube shocks.

why do you suppose they are wearing out so quickly on you? I would think they should be good for atleast 40 - 50k mi? Maybe its time for some of them fancy chromed carrera shocks.
