You'd have to break the remaining spares in the right order though.
Fiber fix. Wonder if they have an expiration date. Been carrying the same two from the beginning of time. Among all the bikes I've owned (nearly embarrassing), I've never suffered a broken spoke. Even had a ravenous lap dog jump into the non-drive side (radially-laced) of a Campagnolo race wheel with no ill effects….well, unlucky for the dog though; those were bladed spokes.
