One season. But really - it's a freaking front wheel! What should I be doing, rocking it to sleep every night?

A while back I had Mavic Ksyrium wheels that were already many years old and I rode them for years until the rim was too worn out on one, and I ran straight into a curb in the dark and dented the other. Never touched the bearings. So yeah, if I have to service bearings every year I'm definitely not on the right wheelset. I'm too lazy for that s***!

I just want a bike that I can replace the chain and tires every 2 or 3 months, and replace gears, cables, and derailleur once a year. And infinity bearings made of pure diamond lol.
