Ah, the joys of throwing away all the bits that I saved 'just in case I ever need them'.

It's been 15+ years and I think that I was ever going to use a load of loose headset ball bearings (various sizes too) That moment would have already come.

Anyone need at least 15 part worn, non tubeless ready, 26" tyres?

...and the handlebars. I have all the sizes!

Lots of QR skewers too.

Do I need so many spare spokes and nipples?

I did find my 35mm SLR camera though. Which is nice.

Yo Tom, if you have a 10mm QR rear skewer and a selection of 26” tyres I would gladly take some and return favour 👍😎

Recyle-a-bike will happily take them off your hands. I give them my unwanted garage detritus. Pair of Lugano tyres this week.

If tdog doesn't take all your tyres I'll offer a home for some, plus a 1" handlebar for a commuter bike if you have one, in return for a donation to a charity of your choosing.

Is there a bike jumble near you?

tdog - no 10mm rear QR unfortunately, just standard QRs.

Honestly you wouldn't want any of these tyres - part worn was being nice, most are down to the casing, or have knobs missing.
I have emailed a charity who make products out of old tyres and inner tubes, so hopefully they can make use of the rubber mountain in my garage.

Roger_mellie - I have a couple of 1" bars, flat, not very wide, and both in lovely anodised colours. A blue and a purple! Where are you based?

If you happen to have any purple qr's kicking around I'll gladly take them off you.

I'll gladly take any "fancy" (alloy) Shimano skewers you have!
