Ha, excellent point, I forgot what the actual bike was. But you know what I mean - if you're about to go on a ride on it and it's broken. Depends how important the bike is I guess. If you've got 16 and would just ride a different one if this broke then there's no real need for spares.
On the other hand I have seen people do 100-mile road sportives on full suspension mountain bikes and hybrids, I'm sure this wouldn't be too out of place
I'm sure @cryptthing will be doing loads of Sportives on it!
