FREAKIN little piece of glass it didn't puncture the tire but it was sitting in there pretty good and was sharp enough to puncture the tube. How long can I ride on it or should I replace it?

Just rubber sement the slice back together, You will be as good as new.

Yeah it should be fine.

I just realized the other day that my back tire is down to the threads in a couple spots

When the tire is inflated, is there a bulge at or near the puncture?

If its not leaking air and there is no bulge , just keep riding it.

Hopefully you can just keep riding it cuz those weren't cheap tires were they?

Damned glass!

A few months a go I thought I was all bad ass and was putting down so much power that I was spinning out my rear tire on climbs. It turns out I was spinning up the rear wheel but it was because the tire was basically just a casing and threads and not because my 50 watts was so overwhelming.

This thread just reminded me of something. I got a flat from a cut in the sidewall of my front tire. I swapped the tube out with the intention of replacing the tire when I got home. 400 miles later I still haven't replaced the tire.
