It will keep you rolling :)
Did you retain full spread of gears ?
For others reading, using the hanger offsets the mech so if you just put it on as a fast fix you have to be carefull with shifting until you reset the mech travel stop screws, from memory until you reset i lost 1&2 gear and had to stop at 7th as due to offset it was in 9th, trying to select 8th would drop the chain/overshift off the cassette. Once recalibrated the full use of normal gear range returned.
No science to back this up....... you might find/notice slightly sharper shifting as the Wheels Mfg hanger is stiffer than normal hangers which are designed to bend and break.
Excuse the questions, apart from chatting with Wheels Mfg at a trade show your the first person i know who has used one in the field so to speak.
I did practice rear wheel changes, after several goes i was able to reset fine on my own, can't say it took much longer. First couple of goes a third hand would have been nice, but soon got round that, so don't worry about punctures.
