Good ride but picked up a nail in the rear tire after 25 miles. Felt a thump thump. I guess if I ran tubeless I’d just had to add some air. It put a hole on each side of the tube.
It must a day to pick up nails.... I picked this up this 10 penny nail at mile 47, I run tubeless and did not flat, and made it home to finish with 52. Luckily, I was heading toward the house where I was going to take a left to add another 20 to the distance, but, nope.
The only thing showing in my tire was about 1/8th of an inch, but since it was not leaking, I left it alone. I was shocked when I pulled this out of my tire.
