I've got a little bulge

Any one else read the thread title and though Sara had been playing mummies and daddies?

I confess this was my first thought
Then I noticed it was in bicycle mechanics, so knew it must have been a tyre

I thought a man type person had found their perfect bike and had got a lazy on.

It looks like the tyre is too far in the rim in one section and what I first thought was a bulge it actually where it returns to its normal position.

I had a similar problem to this with a new tyre. I tried talc but that didn't help. The only thing that got it seated properly was pumping up to maximum pressure.

The problem with that is if it fails to seat right at maximum pressure, the noise as it comes off the rim will deafen you for half an hour.

I'd be inclined to let the air out. Things going bang in the night might get a response not intended.

Make them a cup of tea (with chocolate digestives)and they might change the tyre for you?

I'm surprised you haven't mentioned using talcum powder on your rim!

How do you do that ? I always find it ends up all over the floor

This seems unlikely if the seating problem is because the tyre is a little tight and needs stretching out a little.

A good jiggle and bounce all the way round should make sure the tyre is seated and can then be safely pumped up to the pressure desired.

I thought it might be a hernia.
