Dreaming about building up a new bike is what started this discussion. I've been using bar end shifters (friction) for 4 years now and over 25,000 miles of riding (most commuting) I've noticed I can easily get 10,000 miles out of a cheap hub or BB. I had a Shimano Sora shifter fail (before the bar ends) after about 10,000 miles. I think that's good mileage for the price and I never had a problem with shifting, however I'm not used to anything more costly then that.
