For all of the "just in case" cases, I'd like to have some extra spike pins in my bag.
I found mixed results.
All I searched for is some 1/4 inch spike pins, but there are apparently a lot of different ones, all with varying quantities and prices.
Some boast different fancy properties, like carbon steel, lighter weight, and durability to stay sharp for longer.
How many spikes will I realistically need to have on hand, and which spikes are best to buy?
Info: I race mid-long distance on the track, as well as 1 or 2 CC races when the course allows. My shoes have 6 pins each.
I only use my spikes for racing. I almost never train in them.
