I knew the tire was not perfectly centered radially because there was a hop to it. I hadn't gotten around to fixing it yet. The tires can be pumped up to 115 psi and I pumped them up to just about that pressure before going to bed last night. I guess the bead popped without the tube letting go. I decided I'll only go to 100-105 from now on.
