2. Since October

3. No decay at all, it's fine!

5. I cleaned it for the time last week and it was nice afterwards, then insane after lubing it for the first time (since it comes prelubed). I hasn't been in constant use since I got it, but if there was decay I think I would have noticed by now unless it tends to happen after longer than this.
