Things I’ve pulled out of my tires:
- staples
- rivets
- pallet staples
- nails
- screws
- springs
- thorns
- wire
- glass
Just a few days ago I pulled a 1.5” 16ga brad out of my rear tire. Didn’t even notice it until I got home. Try that with a tube. A year or so back, I rode 30+ miles with a 3/4” #9 door hinge screw stuck in my back tire. Got home, removed the screw, put in a patch, and rode the tire until cords were showing.
