Oh, to be lucky enough to have access to an x-ray machine, for finding the break in a long cable. My sweetheart was unfortunate enough to be in a bad field crash in an NRC crit, ending up with a broken collarbone. There's only so much I can do to help her heal, but while imaging technology was instrumental in her medical treatment, the job of fixing her bike also benefited a small amount from the same technology. The pickup cable for her powertap got snagged, stopped working, but was still intact. It also wasn't clear where the problem was, from the usual radius-of-curvature test (like you would do for a climbing rope). The break in the wire was easy to find with the x-ray, however.
