Any idea how to fix the bulge of a tpu tube

[flatusJoe86]

I was using an airmoto set to 30 psi on my new tpu tube and got a bulge like as if it was threatening to burst. How do I deal with that?

They all do that so don't pump them up to more than a minimal pressure without a tyre surrounding them!

Fairly sure the instructions that come with a TPU tube tell you specifically not to do that.

As I understand it that is now knackered - they are only to be inflated inside a tyre :-(

I guess you could try it and see how it goes, it either goes pop, or seems ok - you could inflate it and not ride the bike for a while, and see what happens.

Bulge means it’s damaged. Don’t ride it. Bin it.
TPU tubes are sensitive. You probably pinched it during install or the bead wasn’t seated right. Next time, inflate halfway first, work the tyre bead into place, then go to pressure.
