Another flat, part III
Road bike tires are usually built to weigh little and translate as much of your pedaling power into forward motion as possible. They're susceptible to cuts.
My rear tire has 3 of these kinds of cuts. Underneath is a layer of Kevlar. Yet I decided to change the tire today in case the recent flat was due in part to gravel, sand, or glass getting inside one of the cuts.
(Yes, I do bite my fingernails.)
