Tire changing tips-destroy the bobble!
 

Ok so I've changed tires and fixed flats lots and lots of times, occasionally though I come up with a tire that is a b#stard to mount without getting that little hump or bulge where the inner tube is not sitting right. Does anyone have a foolproof method or a tip that makes tire bulge go away?

As in many things, the late Sheldon Brown has the answer:

"If your tire dips inward at one spot, it is usually a sign of an unusually tight fit. This may make it a bit of a struggle to install the tire, but it also means that you can get away with considerable overinflation with no risk of blowing the tire off the rim. Indeed, the best way to seat a "dipping" tire is by temporariliy overinflating it until it "pops" into position."

I often have this problem and this advice did the trick.

Thanks, Sheldon.

cool tip, thanks Praxis

I havent tried this but
if the tire bubbles out wipe the rim with windex apparently works

Agree with Sheldon here. I have tires like that. Inflate it ~10 psi over stated maximum, and it pops into place.

Thanks for those tips guys they worked a treat, (I think even the windex thing helped), funny never thought I learn something new about putting tires on but there you go. Might go and read the newbie thread from cover to cover to see what else I've missed over the years :)
