Got a puncture last night. As a result there's a small slice in the tire near the edge of the contact patch, like maybe 1mm long at most?
New tube in and finished the ride no issue but... Should I replace the tire? I'd ask at the bike shop but I already KNOW what their answer is... what do you all think?
Why the "I already KNOW what their answer is"? Seems like you are yelling that which is not needed. Bike shops aren't out to get you. and if you feel that you should look inward and figure out why you, personally, would get that feeling.
I would post pictures and show the cut but if it is significant I would probably swap out to a new tire. If it is really small you might be fine but hard to tell without seeing it.
