Yet another new mentor question - how much to order preseason?

[asid61]

115 ordered stuff that we knew we would use before the season, such as:
1. Bearings. We use these every year!
2. Hex shaft. Also common.
3. 2x1 tubing in 1/8" and 1/16" wall thicknesses. We run through around 32-64ft of this stuff each year.
4. 1x1 tubing in 1/8" and 1/16" wall. Maybe around 16ft per year.
5. Sprockets. Need these for drivetrain and other applications.
6. Versaplanetaries. If we're running low we pick up some more.
7. #25 chain, although we bought 100ft in 2015 and didn't buy any 2016.
8. Screws and nuts to refill lows. 1.5" long screws run out pretty quickly. We don't like to re-use nylock nuts. Rivets are also a refill item.
9. Drill bits, taps, etc. if we need them.

Generally it's raw stock and tools that we stock up on.
