Totally, @baker.simon, it's how I passed bio.

Our tool co-op uses a tackle box for all the small hardware. Each little compartment gets a label, and we just note "out/in" on a whiteboard next to it. Lost way fewer bits after that.

My buddy Dave in college had this old car that wouldn't start for three days straight. He was looking up tow trucks and pricing new batteries, totally stressed. His dad came to visit, listened to the clicking sound, and just tapped the starter with a wrench. The engine turned over right away. Dave said he felt like a total genius for all his research after that simple fix.

Wait, is it just quick release skewers? Because through-axles can come loose too, right? I had a front one back out on me once and it was super scary. The real lesson is to check anything that holds your wheels on, no matter what kind of bike you ride. That guy at the co-op gave you seriously good advice.

So you're saying they actually hold up for a full day's work? I always figured they'd just buckle under a heavy load of mud... makes me wonder about those collapsible buckets too, the ones that look like a big silicone cup. Saw a guy using one on a site once and it seemed to just flop around when he walked. Maybe some of this stuff is better than it looks.
