Bike room is slowly coming together. Going through everything and I have so much bs stuff I need to sell or get rid of. I’ll get rid of the dumb cabinet thing and build a work bench. Also need to bring the other bikes home from work.
Half the storage issue is this weak ass opening to this closet. The closet extends 2ft from the opening on either side, but how the hell are you supposed to access anything? It’s dumb. Eventually, I’ll knock out the wall to where I can access at least one of the sides.
Put together this little nook. Boxes have caps, gloves/cold weather stuffs, socks, and random helmet bags, glasses cases, towels, etc. Old helmets on top and the two I primarily use hanging.
The only one that really should be thrown out is the orbea helmet at the top. One of the kasks is cracked and one of the other kasks, which is bailey’s, is good except it needs a new retention system. They’re kinda just a display at this point. I get a new helmet every year on the road team, so they have piled up quickly.
Well now I feel better about ordering a new helmet to replace one that has blown out sweat pads. I really dislike it when they don’t sell replacement pads a couple years after, always intend on ordering a couple replacement pad sets when I initially pick up a helmet.
I always loose them when the helmet is in regular rotation. I usually find the pads shortly after trashing it.
IIRC, a while back I remember a helmet company saying you could bring any helmet into one of their dealers to be recycled for $xx off a new helmet. Pretty sure these things can’t be recycled though? I have like three helmets to get rid of but I don’t wanna send them to the landfill for a bong-year… If any little bit can be recycled I’d like to go that route.
