James, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Hi James,
I had to look up an alternative definition, https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/stepney, to understand the reference. Rando and Ultra racers usually carry at least a tire sidewall patch kit, https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5048-270/ ... -Tire-Boot. That combined with a good pump and plenty of glueless tube patches will solve tire cuts short of a full blown tire. For anyone traveling a significant distance between resources or simply off the map a spare tire is a sound decision. If I was heavy touring I would have a full spare just in case. How far is your trip?
