Thanks pedalfaster and Denise. One of the requirements is it has to be available at one of the LBS'. The tire isn't punctured completely through, but the cut is through at least the outer and one other layer. So, it's probably semi-safe to ride on today, but, on the way, definately picking up a replacement.

Another requirement, that came up last night while I was changing the tire, is no wire beads. I spent probably 30 min alone getting the bead off then back on last night. I wanted to reinforce that area of the tire with a one dollar bill.
