I don't have the new version, I ride the old style and have to rebuild every two years or so. I guess time will tell on the new models, but from Crank Brothers they are advertised to have solved the wear problems in the bearings and bushings. IMO, the ease of exit and entry, along with how well it retains the foot for upward pressure on the pedal, Crank Bros are worth rebuilding.
