I called for a pick up once, 3 miles from home, when a stick got intimate with my rear derailer and spokes; I didn't know a derailer could bend that way.
I can (and have) fix a flat and lube my entire drive train. I once fixed a flat (rear tire, natch) on my new bike next to a busy highway. It was my first time doing it with hydro disc brakes, and I did everything wrong, but somehow it worked out anyway.
