Tire bulging

[kovacsa]

Hey All, Does anyone know of a sure fire way to keep a tire from bulging while being inflated with a floor pump? I seem to have an issue with bulging in one spot of my tires. These are the tires at 35mm, https://www.continental-tires.com/bicycle/tires/cross-tires/cross-king-cx I have two tires at that size that bulge. The 32mm ones do not bulge. The bulge is not huge, but is noticeable when eyeing it. Any ideas?

It was going too quick for me to see what was bulging, but the rim itself seemed to be going up and down?

^^^ It was going too quickly for me too. If it were me, I would take the tyre off and find out if the rim is still round before trying anything else.

Mark the bulge on the tyre and fit the tyre in a different position on the rim. If the bulge stays in the same place relative to the rim, then the wheel is causing the problem. If the same part of the tyre still bulges then the tyre is at fault.

The rims definitely bobbing. It looks to me that is also where the tyre is bobbing.
Sort your rim and that should sort the tyre.

This has nothing to do with the content of your thread but I get really annoyed every time someone on here write the word tyre the American way. This is the UK and I wish people would spell words the English way so , please note that the correct spelling is TYRE with a Y. Thank you.

This is the Internet aka World Wide Web...clue is in the name The site owner just happens to be UK based, the OP may well not be. You are presumably referring to the British English way...not the English way...there's also American English with a fair few words spelt differently.

Now...erroneous spelling of the word for the things on a bike that the feet go on to turn the cranks as 'peddle' rather than the correct 'pedal' really does get my goat

I accept that but most of the members are UK based and may be so is the OP. I also share your view regarding the word pedal.

Posting mostly in the middle of the UK night, linking a Canadian bike in another thread...I suspect he or she is not in the U.K.

I get tyred of that too.

 

[Sharky]

I agree to.
Their can be know excuses for bad grammer.

Mod hat off:

Surely the fact that the #1 post link has the word tires in it twice indicates that it is an acceptable spelling by the OP?

I would openly boo you in public for a comment like that. Sssssssssssss

But to the OP: I think your wheel needs trueing.

I'm glad it's not just me that it winds up. I don't like the indiscriminate use of the word "gotten" either, especially where the poster is clearly British. Try not to mangle our own language, leave that to the Americans!

I hope that really made you feel better,the op is asking for help with a wheel/tyre problem, not a lesson in English spelling, the fact that you decided to correct them shows you knew exactly what they meant .
