As we all know from years of experience, decades even in some cases, the best way to deal with a problem is to ignore it and hope it goes away on its own.
Well, the problem of the bike parts accreting in my house, though seemingly halted for a while, has resumed agglomerating once more.
Oh, it's just a dropper post and lever. Yes, that might be what it appears to be on the surface, but to the trained eye this is the first crack in the dam breaking once more.
And wouldn't you know it: brake parts! Two rotors and a caliper spacer. This is starting to look very dire indeed. However, it's possible we might still have a chance of holding back the tide, just so long as...
Oh no. No. It can't be!
There's no denying it. That's a cassette, and look at the size of it! At least 50 teeth on the big ring. There's no hope of fending off a mature specimen like this. This is the thin end of the wedge, soon all hell will break loose, and before you know it...
Oh, this is it; this is the end times. These are juvenile parts, not even fully fledged. These poor little wheels don't even have their spokes yet, and it'll be weeks before they grow a rim!
I think my only hope is to return these two to their nest and hope that their mother doesn't reject them. Once they're fully grown, well, we'll just have to cross that bridge when the time comes.
