Changing a flat should be simple. Alas it appears I can't do it right.
Recently I have twice had the tube bubble out from between the rim edge and tire thread and go pop mid ride. It looks like I have done it right, but the first I notice is when I'm out riding and for a few seconds before it goes pop the ride feels a little lumpy.
Is it parts failure or maybe I need tips and proper tools (more than a couple of levers) to properly change a flat on this rim/tire combo.
back on forum for first time in ages, do go easy on the inevitable jokes around changing tires and lumpy rides
