Tire puncture anyone?

Who has gotten a puncture already? So lame. It was a small screw and I thought I got lucky and that it didn't go all the way through but when I tested it there's slow tiny little bubbles coming out from the puncture site. :

At least it wasn't at the shoulder, that can be plugged.

Yeah agree I got lucky. I was hoping I got real lucky and that because it was a screw that it didn't go all the way through.

Maybe it is karma for stealing the username I was going to switch to when my M2 came in.

Just kidding. That really sucks! Were you around a construction site.. or just bad luck?

Haha, maybe.

I was around two construction areas Saturday when I went to Cars and Coffee so that could have been it.

Thanks. Yeah I did opt out of it but I got lucky here as they were able to patch it with no problem for $11. Staying away from construction areas!

Get it plugged and patched.

Any reputable tire shop will not plug the tire, but will dismount the tire and install a patch, provided it's not to close to sidewall.
