I've noticed on the last couple of rides on my fixed an odd bump.from the front tyre. I only notice it mow and then when on good smooth tarmac.
Thinking it would be a bulge somewhere l had a look this morning. Its the opposite of a bulge. One section is flattened, as if the bead is sitting lower in the rim.
Ive had these tyres on for a couple years without problem.
Im going to swap the tyre but its a mew one on me.

Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
Has the tyre almost defaulted to sitting on that point for long periods? Just a thought.

I had a apparent bump on a brand new pair of handbuilt wheels from spa.
Luckily i didn't tinker with the spokes much as I barely know what I am doing in that area.
I put slightly narrower rim tape in and that sorted it.

Talc every time; why on earth would you want to cover your tyres (and soak inside the rim) with slimy salty dishwash liquid?

Before fitting any tyre or tube I always give them a liberal dose of talc. Once the tyre is fitted it's easy to wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
