It arrived, oddly on a Sunday. Didn’t get a chance to open it yet, I had other bike stuff to do today…

It took a week to get to the box, but I got to it! I think I spent about four hours sorting, deciding, choosing, and repacking the durn thing. Believe it or not, most of the time was spent sorting; I’m a bit OCD.
As it arrived (with paperwork separate).
The reveal:
The take:
An excellent haul this time. As you can see I removed some non-C/V stuff… because I need it! The pads couldn’t have been better timed, I literally need to replace a set now. I will be building a wheel set with center lock rotors, too, and the tool will be perfect for the torque wrench.
The toe straps are always useful with bikes, and I love the rubbery feel. I always seem to need a RD cable tension adjustment screw. And the 8mm nylock nut is great for racks, lights, whatever. And I always seem to need cable guides too.
The 135-spaced fork holder will become part of a bike rack in my ‘87 Land Cruiser for my fat bike that uses a 135 QR fork. Perfect!
My garage fridge is much improved with all the stickers and the Trek head badge. I currently have five Treks in the garage…
The box is off to @bwilli88 tomorrow! It should be there… someday. Three-day shipping is apparently no longer a thing with flat rate boxes that weigh just a hair under 35#.
PS - a sad thing occurred with the plastic shield… it didn’t make it.
PPS - I removed some stuff that has been in there for a looong time, duplicate stuff, borked stuff, non-bike stuff, and made nearly direct replacements with un-borked stuff (except for one thing, it’s only missing a piece) and some other different bike stuff.
PPPS - if anybody needs a right SR SP-155 pedal, I’m happy to send it for the cost of shipping, it didn’t fit either and without a match, I pulled it.

I knew something was missing... the bo'c has not been here in over a year. 
My crap is overflowing... time to share.
All that to say "put me on the list please"

My take
I can not find a landing pic so I posted a cute bug.
My score from a virtual box of crap via MH.
And it is on the way...

Calling all Crapateers,
The Box 'O Crap has been received by the last volunteer on the list. If you want to play the game it is time to sign up! For the $21 to ship it to the next participant every visit brings a bunch of new items for players to pick through and keep. Probably the best value grab box in the cycling world. Please step up and be recognized. Smiles, MH

jdawg,
It is my intention that it keeps moving along. Should it stall, I will ask that it be returned to me until a new member steps up. Smiles, MH
