Fix-A-Flat

I blew up all three (the one on the bike was fully flat now) tubes and located the leaks. Tiny, single-hole punctures There was no location pattern to them, so that meant that the wheel was not the culprit. I took a few minutes to carefully inspect the inside of the tire with my fingertips. I keep a layer of plastic inside my tires as well. Suddenly, a scratch.

There it is (next to the quarter):


When the tech in Allentown was changing my wheels he pulled out a tiny piece of twisted wire from the tire and handed it to me. He missed this bit, as did I.

Enormous relief. Now how to I stop the wind?
