I had a nail going through the tire, tube and rim tape into the spoke
hole. I kept chaning tubes and having blowouts. I couldn't figure out
why until I saw the hole in the rim tape. When I went home and was
patching the tubes I noticed that one was punctured in two opposite
sides. Thats when I realized that the nail had gone through the tire,
tube and rim tape.
