Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

That is weird. The only thing I can figure is that the tires aren't seated well, and the distortion that the tight U-bar creates is enough to dislodge it.

When the tire "pops" does it end up off the rim?

More info might help, tire size, rim width, and whether the rim is straight sided or hook edge.
