Not a bike repair, but half way through a month-long trip, as I checked into a small rural Swiss pub as my overnight stay, I found that my riding pants had ripped at the seam. Right on the buttcrack.
Solution? A couple of layers of black gaffer tape. Got me as far as the nearest Detlev Louis store on the back side of Austria, and having not found anything appealing in their stock, it actually got me all the way back home to Estonia without too much embarassment.
