My name is JMT3 and I’m a spares hoarder.

Is showing my wife this thread going to help me or hurt me?

Has "Honey, you know, it could be a lot worse..." ever worked before?

I was just thinking along same line as rogerspam but your point was a quick face slap of reality.
Thus I will definitely not be using any of this as examples of how I am “not that bad…” with my wife!
Thanks!

Not always the case. I bought a “spare” eTap right shifter and can’t find it anywhere so I bought another. All my spares will not fit into a single plastic staorage box. I keep everything in what I call “my toy room”!

How to find a bike part you can’t find: order its replacement

On a team ride today that right shifter hydro piston seized up. The lever looks great except the rust under the hood. The electronics work just no brake. The brake did not seize the caliper to the disc so I was able to finish the ride with just a front brake. The old one is for sale on this site as parts only.

Now I need to dig up that other one in my garage and just did a garage cleaning last weekend and it did not show up. A couple more place to look or buy another.
