I threw in a new tube and rode it home.
I still need to inspect the bike for brake damage from the nail pinging.
Then inspect the tire in the daylight.
I don't think I'll chuck the tire, but see if it needs a boot or something.
The nail size looks bigger in the picture, and it was tight when I pulled it out (stapling the tube to the tire wall).
I suppose it could have been worse. I could be asking if an extra hole in the rim makes a difference.
Although, I did buy a pair of Compass tires that I'm itching to try out.
