No, I put in Stans and run the tire through a bit more tread. Next time it
flats, I replace it.

I recall once, long before modern sealants, riding my mtb into a lot just
covered end to end with goathead plants, and walking out with uncounted
thorns in both tires. After patching some 15 holes in the first tube, I
gave up and tossed tires and tubes into the trash.
FWIW, I've done this also
happened to me too. almost tossed the tire, but instead I rolled it up and put
it away. two years later I really needed a tire like it on short notice. Pulled
it out, checked it again, found the offending thorn in 2 minutes and am still
riding it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks everyone. The stumper is that I do line up my valves and tire labels to
better identify flats. It's just that the leak is incredibly slow And I just
can't find it via submersion to help direct my search of the tire for the
offending object. I do know that neither the originally punctured
Valves can also leak if the removable valve core is not screwed in tightly
enough. Cores are often just slightly loose on new tubes. If your new tube
doesn't have a removable core, then that's not the problem, but you know that.

Back when I had to worry about goatheads (thank you so muc,h Orange Seal) I
used to run the pad of my thumb or forefinger along the inside of the
casing, since thorns would often break off on the outside but remain
sticking in on the inside. I'd usually feel what I couldn't see, and saved
myself a
Also, check the valve stem itself for leaks (they will leak if you don't
twist the presta nut closed) and the area where the valve stem is attached
to the tube.

Two thoughts:
1) I would try to save the tire. Look a little harder for the culprit.
2) This is a great argument for lining up the label on the tire with the valve
stem. Makes it so much easier to locate things in the tire based on where the
hole in the tube is. If the puncture is 90 degrees
Got a slow leak in a Big Ben yesterday (1st in ~4,000 miles on this tire) and
went about fixing it. Flats are rare for me so I take my time finding the
cause. I thought I had - a tiny wire on the inside of the tire, which I plucked
and then finished checking for any others. I used a new tube
