Hi Dilip,

Rubbers do have a life span. To check whether your rubber is still OK simply rub your finger across the surface. If it is still gripping it is probably OK. If the surface feels slippery it is worn out and it is time to replace them. After a year and a half they are probably starting to get worn.
