I can't be the only one who does this, a year or two ago I sorted everything into this box meant for matchbox cars, fit pretty nice too. I just have stuff like old bearings that still have some life left to them, various nipples, BB & headset spacers, bits of chains, axle nuts/spacers/hardware, random bolts, etc.

Anyone else keep random things like this in the off chance they might be useful later down the road? Chain bits & bearings have saved my ass & friends asses too, so instead of just pitching them I keep them as long as they're not stripped/seized up/broken/whatever else

Yeah I did that back then when I would buy parts every now and then with BB's headset bearings,axle nuts and whatnot, I wish I still did this but life goes on

Haha maybe, a lot of the stuff I have 0 use for anymore, like the Shadow Rant v2 drivers for instance.. but they're not broken so I just can't bring myself to getting rid of them

It's what mechanics do. If its junk, scrap it. If its still good, keep it for later. Up until a year ago, I had aircraft parts complete with the traceability paperwork in my tool box, but you're technically not allowed to have them. Mechanics in every field do it, and it absolutely helps in a pinch. Keep doing it! On my last order, I forgot to grab some headset spacers, but I'm hoping to not need as many on my next build, so I may be good.

I do this too. Most of it I know I'll never need but I keep it anyway.

|

2/4/2014 11:51 PM

I do it as well.
I just dump it in a plastic can, i have washers, skateboard bolts, bearings, worn grips, barends...

Damn, I have a whole drawer full of old parts haha. Gonna go through that tomorrow at some point, should be interesting to see what's in there. I know there's a pair of Sunday Color bars, a few old, large sprockets, brakes, random other shit.. The belt idea you said gives me an idea, I have a couple old tires in the garage and always wanted to try to make a belt out of one, maybe I'll do that

I only have one spare in 22mm and I'm pretty sure it's the same length haha he'd be better off just cutting his down some

One of those Rant V2 drivers wouldn't happen to be 9t would it?

No, my problem is not small parts more so big parts. at one point I had 6 frames, 6 sets of bars, 3 or 4 pairs of cranks, and 7 rims.

Tell him to take his ass to Home Depot and cut a length of the gray plastic tubing that will fit over his spindle. Its easier to cut to length, just use a razor blade. Also, if you just need to shave a little off the aluminum one, use a sheet of sandpaper, or just use your Sidewalk in a pinch. Y'all make working on bikes seem complicated or something.

Well I was going to file it for him but I dont want to make it sit wrong. Im probably going to run it through a table saw so that its accurate.

Do you have the pawls & bearings and stuff? I think it takes a weird sized bearing or 2 in the driver but I can't remember
