Here is a link to the photos of the rim

1) Rim does have have hook bead

2) Rim appears shallow to me

3) From my perspective the rim seems 20 wide (see photo with wrench). I mentioned it was a 25 based on the brochure that I found which has my bike and its specs link below.

4)I took wrk101 advice and went slow and made sure I did not miss something when re-installing the tires

5) while I might have misaligned the tube I doubt this as I have put tires on for years had my share of mishaps and have learned from it.

6) as this problem has happened on two different brands Hutchinson and Vredsteins I do not think I can blame the tire.

I think this rim is rather shallow and I did not align the bead to the hook bead correctly. If this is the case I should be diligent when repairing or replacing the tire.

I welcome any input.

and once again many thanks to those that answered
