Had this happen to me on a long night ride (wolfpack hustle). Went through three tubes. I limped back over the bridge, found a driveway with a strong light, and took the whole tire off to meticulously inspected it until I found a hair-width piece of wire just fractions of a millimeter longer than my tire was thick. I was about ready to throw my bike off a cliff before I finally found it. Ended up getting home after 1am after a couple recovery pints to ease my pain
