Fortunately it had lodged into the tread sideways, I pulled it out and the soapy water test reveals no leak. I marked the location on the tire and I carry a repair kit with me so I'll check it again today after work.
On the bright side I have a photo for day 2.
Ouch! hope that didn't ruin the tire.
ReplyDeleteJust a flesh wound, still holding air.
DeleteLet's hope it's only a surface wound!
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of nasty crap on the roads right now. I hate it.
I am surprised how long it is taking for the city to sweep the streets, they are usually on it right away.
DeleteTroubadour:
ReplyDeleteDouble Ouch ! Drats, day 2 and you're still going strong . . . Glad it was a non issue

Delete...oh, and I have my 2nd photo too, but it's still in the camera until I get home ;)
ReplyDeletework getting in the way again...
DeleteLook at you - You're on fire! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI've got my fingers crossed that its just a flesh wound. Strange though - you & NWX both had nail in tire pics today. Oregon better break out the street sweepers! http://northwestexplore.com/2012/02/the-old-nail-in-the-tire-magic-trick-29in29/
Now we'll have to wait and see about endurance ;)
DeleteI forgot about Dane's blog, we met a couple years ago but he disappeared, thanks for the link.
The screw was just a scratch, the tire is still holding air.
Nasty but lucky. I've actually had a similar thing happen to me when I had my Firestorm. Nice when the nail/screw/sharp thing doesn't ruin your day...
