I've got 3000 miles on the rear, looks to have at least that left in it. I'd guess 5-10k miles depending on usage. I'm about 75% highway commuting miles, the rest split between city and canyon riding

I'm not bold enough to say no problem without seeing it with my own eyes, but some bubbling is normal. The oil gets aerated during normal use, so some bubbles are expected. If it is truly worrisome...
