I was originally worried because minisrd messaged me to say the tube was coming through, but i don't think it is. anyway, we seem to have got through this mornings tight logistics okay, and can hopefully sort it this afternoon. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18589#post-275587 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 09:56:40 +0000 earthowned 275587@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've had the same issue with Schwalbe Marathons in the past. I think it should be fine for short distances as long as you don't over-inflate otherwise it will rub on the brake calipers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18589#post-275575 Wed, 21 Feb 2018 01:20:51 +0000 acsimpson 275575@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I had the same issue this week and other than a bumpy ride it was fine. urchaidh's solution worked on one wheel but the only solution on the other wheel was to replace the rubbish Tesco inner tube with a better one. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18589#post-275571 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 23:17:57 +0000 urchaidh 275571@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Could the base of the valve be sitting below the bead and pushing it up? Let the air out, wiggle the valve up into the tyre, seat the tyre down into the rim, then pull the valve back down and inflate. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18589#post-275552 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 20:22:13 +0000 gembo 275552@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Photo does not look too bulgy. Is it the beading that has gone round the edge of the tyre? Does the tyre clear the brakes and the mudguards? If so might be OK for short trip.? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18589#post-275551 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 19:51:57 +0000 SRD 275551@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>MiniSrd's borrowed front tyre is bulging just near the valve. </p> <p>I don't have the energy to try and change it tonight. I did try letting the air down and trying to push it back into place, but it did the same thing again when i re-inflated. </p> <p>is it rideable tomorrow - short distances only? i.e. to school and then to cycle service for a swap?</p> <p><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4629/25513605847_f850b44709.jpg"> </p>
