    I gave away my last tube on Friday. If dude returned it, I’ll drop it by your office so you can ride home.

    Oh, I have an extra tube. You have an extra rear wheel?

    Luckily it happened less than a mile from my house.

    I can’t see what is wrong with the wheel from your photo. Sorry. If you can explain what the problem is, I might be able to fix it.

    Is that nail going ALL the way through your rim?

    Yes. Yes, it is.

    2 layers of duct tape will get you home… and probably a lot further.

    If tape isn’t available, maybe layer some sheets of strong paper under the tire at that point, like a couple dollar bills, to limp home without puncturing another tube?

    700c 8/9/10 speed Shimano? I may have one here… not anything high value, but functional.

    I’m going to take it to my LBS tonight when the wife gets home and see what they say. But not before documenting it a bit better with the fancy camera.

    I have to give it to you, when you get a flat you give it your all!
