Am I missing something? 32 spoke conventionally spoked wheel; you break one spoke,and its in true enough to clear the pads with the QR open.

In that scenario my thought process is do I risk the time of the wheel change, or go with with the wheel with the broken spoke.

DNF is not in my thought process at this point.

Are you guys saying that the risk of the wheel catastrophically fialing is sufficient it poses a safety risk?
