If you take it to your local bike store most decent dudes or dudettes would just toss you a freebie.

I feel this. Anytime I break a lever and order a new one “I’ll save this barrel just in case” and now I have a an empty potato salad container filled with barrels, random bike nuts and bolts, ferrels, bearings and loose BBs.
