Pulled over and replaced the tube halfway to work.
Found nothing in the tyre and the rim tape is new.
Threw the tube when I got home. It was an old tube that had been patched twice already.
3 for the year.

November 4 - managed to pick up what looked to be half a staple in my rear tyre. I didn't feel it but someone in my group informed me so we stopped and I changed it out. Always fun having an audience waiting for you....
Both on my road bike with 25mm stock Giant P-SL1 tyres.
Only 2 this year, but I've only done 1900km this year. Still, that's the most I've ever done!

Went down instantly.
Put the new tube in but it hung out of the resulting hole in the sidewall.
Deflated and pulled it out again. I found a leynze tyre boot in my saddlebag which worked a treat.
5 for the year, which is not good considering how few ks I've done
