Except I picked up a p_nct_r_ in the front tire.
Oh! Unusual for it to be the front. Fate, Jawine. When it happens there, it is Destiny.
Why ow why can people not put their glass in the bin, or take it home, instead of dump it all over the road!
Liege, BE is like that. I'm pretty well convinced they save on paving materials by recycling glass to do the job -- particularly down by the river. Worse if it rains. Like in science class, when we had to use razor blades to cut the gum surgical tubing to supply the Bunsen burners with gas. A person could saw away all day 'til the blade got dull, or! you could put a drop of water under the blade and it would cut like a hot knife through butter. Unfortunately, tires are the same when it is wet and pokey-sharp stuff is about.
Are you ready to partially unmount, unstitch, patch, and restitch? If so, be sure to test-inflate before restitching/regluing, as there can sometimes be more than one and then you get to do it all again. Don't ask how I know this, and it happened more than once when I was too eager to get things wrapped-up again. The phrase "haste makes waste" kept going through my head. Finding the hole is the worst part of the outside damage isn't obvious. I sometimes ended up unstitching more than I wished.
Good luck on a not-very-fun job; hope it goes quickly for you.
Best,
Dan.
