[Closed] What have you got too much/many of?

Weight. I have far to much many.

tyres... I rekon I have about 9 for my 29er !

outgoings

Debt. Much too many.

Frames, need to sell

lbs.

Edit: too slow

little spanners for bleeding my shimano brakes. I keep losing them before i can use them. End up buying another and losing that before i can do the bleed. Last time i bled the brakes i used a tiny cable tie and a pair of pliers to achieve what i wanted
I've bought 5 now!

stems and gloves

Broken rear lights. No idea why I keep them.

popups.

😈

tyres, both types.

a pile of 26" maxxis and Conti's that I can't give away.

Spare tyre around the mid riff that's proving equally difficult to shift.

Bikes - I have two but can only ride one at any given time...

I have too many copies of the same post.

Crappy failed Apple lightning cables and bags. I'm the Imelda Marcos of soft luggage.

Mavic rims - counted last night and have 13 spare rims from the heady days of v brakes - 517's, 519's, 521s and even a pair of 618's.
Also stems. And bars. And grips. And front mechs. And flat pedals.

handle bars, (rubbish) tyres, frames*

Broken rear lights. No idea why I keep them.

*It's not so much that I have a surplus of frames, more that I've already filled my (quite generous) agreed quota of bikes, so they are more ladies in waiting til I fancy a change and swap bits onto them and stash frames currently in use

stress

and headaches

worn BB's.

can't bring myself to throw them away, can't find anything to do with them.

Lots of part worn ODI Ruffians.

Also lots of old E13 chainrings. And massive bash guards.

I should probably just chuck them all in the bin. They are never going to be used again.

Tyres ,tubes and 4 frames that I should really do something about 😳

Chargers.

And I can never find the bloody one I want.

Forks - I have a pair of 36 Van RC2's, Z1 anniversay, Z1 MCR, Z3 light and an old pair of Stratos FR4's all kicking around the garage.

I have loads of lcok on grips too - mainly due to changing colour themes!

I also hoard dead HTII BB's...no idea why.

Kids 😆

Never done it ,but was there not a way of fitting new bearings in to HTII BB inserts ?

excuses

Charm

Internet forum posts

Wives. And I'm monogamous.

[i]worn BB's.[/i]

😯 seriously, in the bin, now!

Wheels, got three sets of 'spare wheels'
Need to sell two sets.

[i]was there not a way of fitting new bearings in to HTII BB inserts ? [/i]

there is but with CRC knocking out XT BB's at a tenner a shot it's difficult to justify financially.

Jobs.

and I'm monjobgenous.

Tyres and Brake discs!

seriously, in the bin, now!

Hang on, there's at least one Hope one in there, you can definitely replace the bearings on those.

26in rim brake wheels with irretrievably knackered bearings. Why did I just move house with them? Why?

Never done it ,but was there not a way of fitting new bearings in to HTII BB inserts ?

There was..
but with XT BBs for £9, it's not worth it really..

DrP

locations for putting bog standard allen keys down

must have numerous acquired sets, and can never find the right size when rummaging

might walk around the kitchen / dining room (aka bike workshop) with a magnet, and see how many tools i can reunite with the tool box

H4 headlight bulbs

large and granny rings

Gloves. I must have about 15 pairs. If they're on (a good) offer I can't seem to resist. A couple of pairs are still in their original wrapping.

Rucksacks.

At last count:
85L
75L
65L
35L
at least 5x 20/25L

Shoes, far too many.

I just cleared our spare garage. It consisted of a box mountain, then a tyre mountain hiding another tyre mountain, then there's the very sexy but front only collection of 700c wheels......I think I counted over 30 tyres.............why???

Forks: 2 built up bikes but 11 sets of forks...3 sets of Rebas, 4 sets of Revs, 1 set of Fox 32, 1 set of Lyriks and 2 rigid forks. FFS what an idiot 🙄

29er wheels , dont ask...
Must get em advertised

time on my hands.

managed to get rid of all of the other clutter in my life.

3 pairs of MTB race shoes
4 pairs of road race shoes
1 CX'er specific race shoe.

Ok so I like having a dry pair every time i ride but even I look at that lot and think, like How? 🙄

pdf's about 60,000 at the last count

Ties; prob about 30. I don't even wear ties now.

And money. Hell I've got too much disposable cash. No, wait..

Cycling clothes (especially roadie stuff) and shoes

Forks: 2 built up bikes but 11 sets of forks...3 sets of Rebas, 4 sets of Revs, 1 set of Fox 32, 1 set of Lyriks and 2 rigid forks.

nuke might be able to help you out...looking for a set of cheap reba's 🙄

Up until December I had 12x 9 speed rear mechs lying around my room

Frames, at least 2 surplus, but don't want to sell as both are lovely to ride and v-brake only so worth nearly nothing.

Rim brake road wheels - at least 3 spare sets, tempted to put disc hubs on them but they're all silly narrow

Shimano R55 C3 brake pad inserts for road caliper brakes

I don't even own a caliper brake road bike any more!

That BB collection... awesome and yet mildly disturbing!

Front Mechs, rear mechs, SLX brakesets, 10spd transmission, 9 sped transmission, gloves, base layers, long sleeve tops, short sleeve tops, SPD shoes, tyres, tools. It's just everything really. Except bikes. I only have 5 of those (with 1 coming) and you'd have to be some kind of screaming mentalist to suggest that's too many.

And that's just in the big bike shed. I'm basically in denial about the contents of the loft.

Bottom Brackets 7 of and 3 are unused- more worrying why have i kept broken BB?

22 tooth granny rings x 3
I only have one bike with a granny on and they dont fit it .

[img] [/img]

Probably hammers...
Have a similar collection of Stilsons, adjustable wrenches and a roll-cab full of spanners/sockets

Free time. I'm single and have stopped going to the pub so I have loads of hours to myself. It does mean my road bike sees quite a few miles a week though.

Pens and kitchen knives.

Have to run a rotation system on both to get them all used.

I bet you write some scary letters.

Saddles.
And cheap 2 man tents?

Mrs Zip's crap. Tupperware that has no lid or no bottoms. Baskets and craft projects that she will never get around to.
And magazines. Tons of the ****ing things. Once I'm dead she will turn into that nutty lady who's house is full of newspapers.

Rubbish tyres
Almost but not quite completely trashed drivetrain bits

Information (and not enough knowledge)

Noise

TV channels

Football

MPs

Miles

To get to somewhere to ride.

Illness symptoms

Debts.
Dreams.

Gloves, 13 pairs for cycling.

Nipples.

Thousands of them. No idea where they come from.

Tents, cant even count them in my mind.

Nipples.
Thousands of them. No idea where they come from.

Pah, that's just titbits.

Worn out bearings but they do come in handy. Climbing gear. Big blue barrel full and not used for years. Any one need some cracknup,s?

Shimano disc brake pads. I don't have a mountain bike so the stash is completely pointless now.

Not got any 785 shaped ones have you mister p?

Pah, that's just titbits.

OK, that was really good.

26" tyres, frames, knackered wheels, old cassettes, odd length bits of cable outer, inner tubes that I'll get round to fixing one day but never do.

Everything...you spend the first half of your life gathering stuff and the second half tryin to get rid of it, I'm unfortunatly moving to the second stage.

Rucksacks
Tyres
Suits
Books
Comedy draws full of whatever
Cars
Are first for the chop.

Pretty much everything that's already been listed, I have too much of...A taster;
26" Tyres - around 50
Frames - into double figures
Wheels- mix of 29, 26 & old rims - gawd knows how many,they're all on a suspended piece of copper pipe that's about 6ft long...It's full !
worn out or half worn bike bits - Two big boxes
6 tool boxes - 3 are mine, the others I inherited.
5 sealant guns - Could never find one, so would buy a new one, in my defence, they're all different colours...well, the 3 that I can find are ..

Oh, & the paint trays you get when you buy a paint roller,'bout 20 of them !

I could go on..
