This was a not-entirely-uncommon issue for a number of years. The ones that failed would fail like clockwork at 50K miles. The ones that didn't fail would go forever. Idk if I would dive into one that hadn't failed, especially if it was well past the 50K mark. Maybe throw it in the saddlebag as insurance on a long trip.

That being said, if I did have a bad one I'd be tempted to go down one size on the shim. The failure was thought to be related to being mis-shimmed at the factory.
