What's the most ridiculous amount of a single type of something that you have spare?
Finally finished exams yesterday and was able to kit out the bikes with the new stuff I've bought over the last 6 weeks.
Now counted up the spares:
14 SPARE floating rotors....14! ffs!
11 spare seatclamps in various sizes and guises
Come on then fellas, what're you hoarding?
1 spare stem
1 spare handlebar
1 spare set of hope mini
1 spare XT crank
1 spare seat post
1 spare saddle
1 seat clamp QR
1 seat clamp bolt on
1 spare fork (van 125 RLC) in someone's garage in southampton
1 spare deore rear mech
If you count as spare the whole drive train I just took back from my hardtail (gear shifters/front and rear mech) that more crap around
Enough to probably build up a new bike. Have pretty much a whole 9spd setup ready for when my 8spd work hack bike needs a new drive train.
At last count i had about 3 spare front mechs of various types, spare bars, seatposts, a couple of spare wheels.
I really need to sell some stuff on classifieds, but being the compulsive hoarder i am i doubt i will.
Daffy if you want to sell a couple of floating rotors i'll have a black 203 and 180mm one please! 😆
hardly anything anymore since I made a complete bike out of them for mrs 83
My worst is I now have 3 spare Hollowtech cranksets... 1 brand new deore and 2x (2nd hand) XT ones.. I do have two bikes to fit 2 of them to, when there current ones go, to be fair.
A spare set of Sherman breakouts or a lefty (and a 20mm wheel and a lefty hubbed wheel to match) depending on what I go with on the one bike.
2 sets of hydro brakes (ignore a third that's my m8's)
A thudbuster that I've never even used (it was bought 2nd hand, in new condition)
Think they are the worst of my hoard, though at one point i had enough to kit out a a bike, so I bought another frame and did it!
Good god I wish you hadn't made me think about it.
About enough to put a bike together except for a frame - well obviously actually.. 😳
If you can't put a bike/SS together from the spares in the shed - Keith Bontrager won't come to tea - FACT*
Two frames and three forks. No drivetrain parts though.
I have 2 spare frames
Loads of chainrings
2 cassettes
SRAM Rocket Shifters
3 front mechs
Bars & Stem
Seatposts various
Seat clamps various
Wheels 2 back 1 front, road pair.
Tyres - about 10 or 15. ish. Mostly part worn.
Thats about it. I think.
Oh and most of a spare road bike which may sometime be turned into a commuting hack if I can be bothered.
