Mine lasted less than 3000k, which is on the low side considering the price. It stretched so far in that distance that the adjusting screw was adjusted so far it broke off from too much sideways force on it. In fairness this was some time ago, perhaps they have corrected this problem, but as a result they have lost me as a future customer. I went to a Brooks C17 and haven't looked back, hands down the best saddle straight out of the box I have used.
