I also had the kingpins renewed in the spring, also replaced with hard chrome-plated ones for the first time. The feeling of the new kingpins is very impressive. When things wear out very slowly, you always have a permanent habituation effect until the breaking point appears. For me, it is similar to the slow wear of a record player pick-up, for example, or the wear of amplifier tubes. And also, although it happens at shorter intervals, the point at which a dirty window pane suddenly catches the eye and has to be cleaned.
