I've also had the evil staple through the tire flat. I got it one rainy day going up St Nocholas Ave past Harlem School of Arts. A nice guy that saw me with the front flat told me about a small LBS on Amsterdam near 150th St. That little shop saved me that day. Crazy to think that you could actually get a staple into a tire. But apparently doable...
