The sophisticated bicycle has attracted fans in Europe and the U.S., but repairs under warranty have bled the company of money.

One won’t cut it, you need one of every size.
Not really. About 3 sizes are enough for maintenance and most basic repairs.
I’m seeing 4-5 different sizes at a glance on my bike.
Even if there were only 3, my point was that you can’t rely on a random key you got from Ikea, and you’re not always going to run into the same 3 sizes on every bike. Sooner or later you’ll have to buy a full set with 6 or 7 sizes, plus a large key for the stand screw (if you have a stand).
I looked on Amazon and you can get a set of 14 for £4. There’s no need to act like this is unobtainably complex.
Well yeah, that Ikea suggestion is kind of ridiculous. But you don’t really need a full set either. Not every one of those 4-5 different types are used for just doing brakes and removing the wheel for cleaning or replacing the chain (basic maintenance and repairs). If you want to fully rebuild your bike, then you’ll need more than 3 types, yeah.
Yeah so you get one of these thingies that has like 20 in different sizes. Costs like €5.
