I've only broken a couple of spokes and both times it was pre tubeless so just meant letting a bit of air out of the tire to pull the bead off the rim and wriggle the spoke out. I reckon that's a better solution to keep going than having to take off rim tape to get the spoke out and then having to put in a tube.
This needs to be in the hacks thread.

You would need a good pair of pliers with you to bend a spoke like that, but if you did and had a spare link for just that occasion, I couldn't see why it wouldn't work.
Most spokes I've broken, snap off at the nipple and it just twist the broken spoke around an adjacent spoke to stop it flapping around.

Yeah I'm not sure it counts as a real hack, reckon it's a spoof that is why I put it in this thread.

Would take quite a bit of skill to get it to line up and chances are it wouldn't hold much tension with just a simple hook, I reckon it would undo if you tried to get it up to proper tension
