Interesting choice. Mine would be different, I think. I'd go for an early replacement so that I didn't have to quit riding, on the basis that a knee replacement probably has a 10-15 year life and keeping cycling is pretty fundamental to my general fitness and well-being. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
