    Alright Folks

    I had a puncture during the week so I popped into the lbs for a new tube. Brought it home fitted it and pumped it. I noticed that there was a bulge in the tyre about 3 inches the valve. I deflated, took off tyre and tube, readjusted, put them on again and pumped again and still the same issue. I pumped the tube without the tyre and after 20psi a huge bluge appears in a certain spot and the rest of the tube doesnt inflate. I brought it to the lbs again and the assistant said its normal and the tyre will contain it.

    I have changed loads of tubes before and never come across this.
    Is this a regular thing?

    sounds like a faulty/damaged tyre. put your new tube into the other tyre and see if it bulges. I imagine it won't. This will tell you that theres nothing wrong with the tube and the tyre is your problem. New tyre will solve this.

    BTW when you say a bulge, do you means the thyre wall is bulging outward, or is the tyre simply not sitting correctly on the wheel rim?

    The tyre wall is bulging outward but its not sitting on the rim properly either. The first time i pumped the tyre it came off the rim where the bulge formed.

    I've had that alright, either you have damaged the bead and/or sidewall ir just not put it back on right. In my case it was the latter.
