FWIW, my Hetres seem very adept at picking stuff up. Monsieur Blériot’s rear tire (worn enough to have lost most of the molded tread ribs) snagged both of these items in the same ride on Sunday. The straight piece I’m holding in a gloved hand went through the sidewall and caused a flat; the other was embedded in the tire about 20 miles later but somehow didn’t damage the tube.
