Hey,

Just a quick question. I popped my tire in a recent crit, and was without an extra wheel to re-enter the race. After the race, I got to thinking that perhaps a teammates wheel with a dura ace cassette might have sufficed.

I understand that the shifting might not have been ideal or smooth, but would it have likely worked?

More than sufficed... It's just that due to the indexing of the shifters, cable travel and spacer differences at the cogs, shifting would definitely be compromised but you could have easily kept rolling.

I feared as much. Oh well, I'll keep that filed away for next time.
