I was somehow (maybe incorrectly) under the impression that you should NOT use carbon pads interchangeably on aluminum rims. Reason being that you could get some aluminum filings or metal debris stuck in the pad, then when you swap back to carbon rims this would damage the carbon brake surfaceI was under the same impression, but in a pinch you could use them on the aluminum rim to finish the race and then toss them.
One reason I love my 60/60 combo - A spare tube with an 80mm stem fits either wheel even with the disk cover on the rear. A valve extender that doesn't require removing the core just in case I have to borrow a tube and I am set
Not to be a one upper but I did have three flats and a broken chain in a 70.3. Of course I had no hope at a podium and it was a B race. I treated it like a catered training day.
