It is something to ponder.. should I wear out a nice piece of gear? ... but if I don't do it, will it be so obsolete that somebody just chucks it into the metal recycling bin??
I've got 3 NOS SunTour New Winner freewheels that I hope to eventually get around to wearing out, after I've worn out my non-pristine ones.
There are still NOS ones out there, if the swap meet tables at the 2018 Classic Rendezvous event are any indication...
although some of them were corn cobs (13-19 teeth, very close range)
