Someone today asked if I had a crank puller. I looked in my toolbox. I have 4 of them.
I don't even own any square taper motherfucking cranks anymore, no wait the pub bike still has a set of 600s. But still! 4 fucking crank pullers! I bet I've got more back in Oz and maybe even in Poland too.
This is another reason that if you do upgrade bikes, think about their proprietary shit. Like, I try to buy 27.2 seatpost bikes that have BSA threaded BBs. It's one less thing to think about. Most of my spare seatposts will fit, yada yada. Beer is so much easier.

Lol.
I can relate, but with music. I used to live and breathe music, logged thousands of hours on 2 instruments, built up a massive music library, etc etc. Now I much prefer quiet, can’t be bothered with playing, and ‘the scene’ just bores me.
I’ll occasionally be motivated to sit at a piano or bring out my trumpet, and most of the time I’ll enjoy it (lack of practice means I’ll struggle where I previously didn’t). It’s not nearly as impassioning now, but I guess that’s life. We grow, and sometimes we move on.

100% this. If I had someone to short all the annoying issues on my bikes, clean them and work out what I need next and make it all compatible I’d ride loads more! Bikes can be so frustrating
