No, it's not, I have the same issue on both wheels now. Been away for the weekend, but will try again tonight, thanks for the advice.

I've used all the lube so all I had left was the liquid soap :).
Don't know what to do anymore, have taken the inner tube out and put it back several times, but whatever I do, I can't get it right (see top of the attached photo).
To be fair, I've used a hand pump so far so first thing in the morning will go to my local bike shop and pump the hell out of it maybe it falls into place.

Bumpy tyre fixed yet?
If not try lubing it- take tyre off and rub something soap based around the tyre beads, something that will not harm the tyre and will dry off in a day or two, even plain water can help but not anything oil or grease based. Liquid hand soap is good.
Then pump up to max pressure, and if that does not work you can safely go up to +50% of max pressure temporarily.
Also the kevlar bead on folding tyres will stretch out a bit over a couple of removal/refit cycles which will help.
