Thats no real problem stopping, RogerIrrelevant69.....

During a takeoff at the "olden-but-golden" runway at HongKong some years ago in a B742 freighter, the ASI didn't register anything at the 80 knots call, so the takeoff was rejected at that point.
Thats a low speed abort, and the runway is long, so we only used idle reverse thrust, to get us to and off the runway at the first available high-speed exit.
Replaced the ASI and we were off again to Japan, only about 90 minutes late, good job all round!

Thats when those revampted and converted B742's with those great GE engines were only newly in service with AHK, a matter of months.

Thats the only abort outside the OFT I've ever experienced!

Cheers, FD
