GXP don't unsure about the SS's. Some guys go to the junk yards and get one from a bonneville or something and use it just in case. Somebody else can chime in if you would rather replace the air pump with an actual spare.

ss's have spares since they have smaller brakes than the gxp guys.

I figure it's because of the staggered setup. And SS spares are too small for GXP use.
