I built a time trial bike with sealed pedals and hubs 7 years ago when I was racing, and the other things you mentioned were available back then too. Stick to major brands and you shouldn't have trouble with parts replacement. If they're adjusted properly at the factory they should feel stiff when turned by hand but smooth when spinning. Longevity should be 3-4 years depending on weather, if you LIVE on your bike, essentially forever otherwise. Good luck. "That's the biz, sweetheart..."
