Repacked my 2,000th hub tonight, when did numbers stop being numbers?
I kept a tally in my shop notebook for years, and while doing a vintage campy front hub after close I saw the count land on exactly 2,000. That number used to just mean work, but now it feels like a wall of small victories, every loose ball and grease smear attached to a customer or a story. Does anyone else hit a milestone like this and suddenly measure their whole career in odd increments like bearings instead of years?
