I mean, I'm racking my brain, and can't recall ever doing that -- nor ever even hearing of someone doing that.
Have you ever had any failure on your bike when you didn't have everything you needed and didn't take an Uber?
Yes, I have loaned people wheels after their tires blew up. But this was before discs were common so there was no compatibility issue. I've also made broken shifters work in the middle of a race. Stuff happens in real life when you don't have a pit crew.
