I've also had my chain separate a few times

Wow, how is that happening? You're not putting pins back in, are you?

Actually I do on occasion, but those aren't the ones separating. It's the two-piece connector links that I've had trouble with.

Fiber-fix replacement spoke

I'm a little late to the party, but...

I saw the Fiber-Fix a few years ago, and being the cheap-o that I am, I made an imitation that has served me quite well. You can see my Instructable here:

I've also had my chain separate a few times, so a chain tool is a must...plus a "third hand" to hold the ends of the chain in close enough proximity to work easily. A 4-inch chunk of broken spoke bent at the ends to hook around the chain rollers works quite well.

Combining some solo vacation time with some family events, it looks like I'll be trying to do about 3 days' worth of road touring from the Santa Fe, NM area in June.

Can anyone recommend a loop or out-and-back route in that area in the 150-200 mile range?  Just looking to do a self-contained camping trip on the bike.

Thanks!

David
