Yeah that's probably true. It's just super annoying. I suppose I could have just fixed it without removing the wheel: just pulling one side of the tire off the rim, pulling the tube out while still in the rear triangle, and patching the tiny hole. But that probably would have been even more trouble since I have so little access around the rear tire with the rack and fender in place.
