Hi, hope ive found the right section.
I recently got back into cycling for exercise and was given a bike by a relative(ridgeback tempest). The bikes been great the pump I got with it not so much and was struggling to get it to work. So I was out on some slightly more rough ground and felt the rear tire slip to the side in some mud, the tube popped out of the side and blew. Completely my fault because the tyre pressure was too low.
I replaced the inner tube, got a new pump took the tyre to 55 psi and was out and did around 12 miles, was going over an area of very sideways slanted ground and the tube popped on me again. I was very careful to make sure the tyre was fitted correctly it was all seated properly and all smooth, no bumps etc. When I took it off I noticed that an area of the tyre wall is quite bent, could it be that I damaged the tyre the first time it happened and do I need to replace the tyre,
