[MENTION=200675]chas58[/MENTION]is right. I've ridden with an even smaller gap than that, and it makes me nervous. Once, I did break a spoke, and the wheel would absolutely not turn. I happened to have a spoke wrench with me, which was a lucky thing. I loosened the spokes near the broken one and managed to ride home. If you want to use this plan, of course you'll need the required skill.
