Ok, with six the tyre goes on with a track pump rather than the bottle, it holds air, but the bead jumps out on both sides, all the way round the tyre, when pressure gets low enough.
Too much tape? But we've tried 2/3/4/5/6 now, and its the same with all.
We could try 1, but that strikes me as far less than I've ever used before.
The bead banged into place (last) at 4 wraps.
