Jamie_Trials Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 This happend to my bike once too,its most probably that you have being trying alot to get your tyre on and levering too much, meaning that the wires in your tyre have broken and can no longer keep the tyre sturdy in its original shape when it is being put under pressure.in short,You need a new tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Just wrap ducktape on the inside of your tyre where its buldging. Will only work for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I tryed that but it just moved to another part of the tyreJust keep moving to different spots to keep it on. You should be able to fit it fine as long as the bead is not properly broken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliott the onza man Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Maybe because you are putting pressure on the tyre as it is pumping, (e.g leaning on it). So try lifting the wheel off the floor when you are pumping if you have not done this already.Hope this helped, Elliott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Pump the tyre until the tube is just past pressing on the whole tyre, then work around the rim on both sides setting the tyre to exactly the same height all around the rim on both sides (Most tyres will have a line moulded near the tyre bead that you can use to judge this). Keep an eye on the tyre for more settling as you pump it. If it still pops off then the tyre bead may well be damaged and you'll need a new tyre.
