Parts hoarding
I recently started taking inventory of my bike stash before moving cross country. I knew I had a problem with hoarding bike parts, but didn't realize the severity of one specific aspect of that until I started counting.
I currently own 4 bikes, plus one that is being built, but counted 16 sets of usable tires. Sixteen.
One set I sold and is shipping out today.
These are mounted:
-Rock Lobster: Panaracer Gravel King slick 26c
-Merckx: Vittoria Open Pave 25c
-Macho Man: WTB Nano 40c
-Log Lady: Panaracer Fat B Nimble 3.5 + Maxxis Ardent 2.4
These are all unmounted, and probably with less than 500 miles each:
-Bruce Gordon Rock 'n' Road 43c
-Soma C Line 38c
-Clement LAS
-Clement MXP
-Clement PDX
-Challenge Strada Bianca 30c
-Another single of each of the Log Lady tires
And even more new in box:
-WTB Nano 40c
-Challenge Paris-Roubaix 27c
-Veloflex Corsa 25c
-Vittoria Cross XL Pro
Meanwhile, I have no spare wheels, frames, or shift groups, and only a few chains, cleats, and other wear items.
I think the original set of WTB Nanos I got in like 2015 is the only set anywhere near being worn out.
What is your poison?
