Had a really weird flat tonight.
A single row of evenly spaced holes about 2" long in the tube;
fortunately only a few pierced went all the way through. Otherwise, it
would have taken several patches.
The holes were about 1/16" apart, as though someone took a small gear
and rolled it over the inner tube. No obvious damage was observed on
the tire itself, tho I didn't have my glasses.
Anyone seen this before?

A guess: something was embedded in the tire enough to cause a slow
leak. As air leaked out, the tire crept around the rim under pedaling
or braking pressure. This made a series of spots because the tube is
fixed to the rim by the valve.
Double check the inside of the tire to be sure there's no debris in
between the tire and tube, and that there's nothing stuck in the tire.
Small shards of glass can get stuck, but not cause an immediate
puncture.

It is most curious indeed why anyone would go to the trouble to hide his
identity, most especially when everyone on this group knows full well who he
is and what he is. He behaves like all criminals do. I will advise Jim
McNaa that the criminal vandal troll is back.
But what is really laughable is that there is no left here to scare off.
This group died and went to hell last ch after Ed Gin (Johnny Rebike)
effectively did his thing. There is no one left here who gives a damn about
this newsgroup. Even Tom Sherman got disgusted and left.
All newsgroups require moderators. Without a moderator, the lowest common
denominator will prevail. Ed Gin is the lowest common denominator.
