Can we talk about the shop in Tucson that labels every cable housing cut by length?
Stopped by a little shop off 4th Ave last week and saw every housing bin tagged with the exact length in millimeters, which honestly shames my whole "eyeball it and pray" system, so what is your go-to way to keep cut housing organized?
Have you ever noticed how the places that label everything by exact length are usually the same places that have their whole system figured out? It's like that one friend who labels every jar in their pantry while the rest of us just sniff things and hope for the best. My go to is honestly pretty lazy, I cram cut housing into old coffee cans and write the length on the lid with a sharpie, which works until I forget what the numbers mean. But here's the thing, this shows up everywhere, not just bike shops. People who fold their socks, people who make the bed every morning, people who keep every receipt. Some folks just sleep better when the world is measured and sorted, and I respect it even if I can't live that way. The housing bins in Tucson sound less like a bike shop and more like a peek into someone's very calm brain, and honestly I'm a little jealous.
