Risk lacerating your fingers by running around rim, tape and the inside of the tyre. You'll find it.
Yep. Always check the inner lining of the outer tire after a flat. Odds are a wire bit or piece of glass is lodged in there.

BTW, ever since I switched to Kevlar tires I haven't had a flat--2,000-3,000 miles at least.
