Dura-Ace chainrings
Has anyone had a problem running A 42-A with a 53-B ? I know the ramps are not optomized for
each other, I want to make sure there is no safety issue.
Thanks

There is certainly no safety issue and everything I've read and heard says they will work fine together. The "A" and "B" pairings are minor refinements, not major changes. The shifting may be slightly worse but I expect you will never notice the difference.
