The rim is a 700 x 25
Tires 700 x 23
Front and back it happened when riding and this time just after I pumped them with the new tires
Assuming they do not have a hook bead what are my options other than new rims would simply putting less air in work?
I have a front spare front rim all my rears are for 10 gear and this much narrower at 6 gear
Thank you all for your answers
If you have older 25mm alloys you need to run 25mm likely 28mm with a low narrow profile tires to get everything to work. Modern 23's just will not work on this rim. Ounce mounted the tires need to run slightly wider than the rims or they just won't work.
