Blew a spoke 3 miles from home on a group ride in Austin yesterday
I was leading a paceline through the hill country and heard that sickening *ping* sound right as we hit a steep climb. Tried to limp it back but the wheel buckled so bad I had to call my wife for a pickup. Anyone got a trick for fixing a busted spoke on the trail without a truing stand or am I just out of luck til I get home?

My buddy Phil snapped two spokes on his rear wheel during a solo ride in the dark once, and he just zip-tied the broken ends to the next spoke over and limped the last mile home real slow. It held just fine, no truing stand needed.
