I wouldn't use a lid that has been in the rotation for more than 3 years due to UV rays, damage from getting kicked around the gearbag etc and just plain smelling

There are some cheapskates on here that are still re-using the condom that they used on their prom night (allegedly) and they will tell you that their early 90's, Specialized Sub-6 is just fine and the LBS is attempting to rip them off by suggesting that it is no longer serviceable. Don't be that guy.

The lifespan suggestion given by the manufacturer of 3-5 years sounds extremely reasonable to me. But hey, it's your brain
