Are you looking for an excuse to replace it, or not to replace it? I, personally, see this as an opportunity to upgrade. If you really really don't want to, and you don't expect her to ride it anyway, as Creme Brulee says, it may last for years. And when (not "if") it fails, it's not likely both tubes will fail at once. First one, then the other. This should give her time to stop. Oops, I said "should" again!
