Braided tubes have a certain using life. The better braided tubes have a service life of 7-9 years, and almost braided tubes have 3-4 years. Braided tubes can be stored for up to 5 years before they are be expired.This is also related to the preservation method.
Inner tube: The general inner tube is general rubber or EPDM, which will age after being stored for a few years, and will have low toughness. If you continue to use it, you will have a tube burst problem; if it is an EPDM inner tube, it cannot be left for too long, but the life will be longer a little.
Nuts: Nuts include electroplated copper nuts, 201 or 304 stainless steel nuts, alloy nuts, etc. If the time is too long, copper nuts appear spots (usually patina), and the electroplating layer falls off. If they continue to be used, the corrosion of the nut will be accelerated, and 201 stainless steel nut will have rust spots. 304ss nut will be fine.The oxide layer of the alloy nut is discolored and so on.
