On my way home from work yesterday saw some broken glass (actually quite a bit) in the bike lane, traffic was heavy so I couldn't swerve around it so well.

No biggy, these tires are rated high against punctures and I even put some handy dandy tire liners in, I'll be fine.

Wrong! A tiny sliver of glass must have got picked up and stuck between the rim and tire. One minute later, pop, hiss, and a nice hole in the sidewall. It was the back tire. I gave up and called for a ride. Less than 50 miles on them too. Grrr.

That said, is there any way to salvage it? The hole isn't gigantic, just looks like someone took a sharp knife and stuck the tip into my tire.
