Is there something else I'm missing here? The backup will spend a bunch of time on the trainer with probably an outside ride here and there. Just don't know if it's worth the extra $ to keep components constant.

Thanks!
I guess I don't get it, what id different between a DI2 rear wheel and a Ultegra mechanical rear wheel? If you have to change the wheels in a pinch, don't you just take it off the backup bike and put it on the Primary bike?

Or if there is a problem with the primary bike, can't you take the backup off the trainer and ride it. I mean, it is a backup. You have to take the bike off the trainer to get the wheel anyways.
