[RBW] Re: Exploding Tires
and of course if you see tube, you rock the bead to pull it back into the tire. The tube really wants to be inside the tire if you give it a chance. New tubes are smaller diameter than the rim - they have to be, because they're going to stretch - when you reinstall a used tube, they're bigger diameter than the rim and tend to pinch for a different reason.

Still probably a pinch flat, but yes, the tire in the sun could have increased the pressure to open the pinch wider. With Challenge tires as the bead stretches, I've had a couple happen while rolling as the day warmed up.

for me it was always on Challente open tubulars (maybe a 3 or 4 times total).

I was chatting with a tech in a local bike shop a couple of days ago and asked him whether he'd ever had a tire explode. He said no, but that from time to time one of the bikes on display in his large downtown (Washington D.C.) store will randomly detonate, typically at night when he's alone in the shop. That'd certainly wake him up.

[RBW] Re: Exploding Tires
Does anyone know the Max Recommended Pressure??? An old F Berto article stated tires are tested to 2xRec'd Preesure to stay seated on a nominal rim. Inflating a 60psig tire in 20°F temperature and then bringing it inside to a 70°F room increases the pressure by 5 to 6 psig. Not likely this was cause. Pinching the tube makes the most snese.

[RBW] Re: Exploding Tires
I agree that it is highly unlikely pressure had anything to do with it. Rat Trap Max pressure is 55psi, and that is almost a 60mm tire. And most tires are built to withstand twice the pressure listed on the sidewalls. I have to pump the RTP to at least 60 just to get the bead to pop into place. (In fact if you had only pumped it to 30 or 40psi, it might not have blown off the rim---until you were out riding it.) Though, yes, I would never ride it with that much air. Lots of good advice above on how to seat a tire. A final check that the bead line is even all the way around at about half pressure is a good failsafe before topping off.

[RBW] Re: Exploding Tires
Before I even install the tire I inflate the tube just enough to give it some shape. The install the tire, leaving half open. Then slide the tube in place, then close the tire, use some lever if necessary but often they are not, just depends on the tire. Then I start to fill the tire, but just enough to fill it out, just listen and you'll know when it is, there won't be anymore sounds coming from the tire. Then I deflate it just a bit, and using both hands pinch the tire and give it a little side flex to see inside between the rim and tire bead to make sure there is no tube showing. And make sure the valve stem is straight, then install the nut and tighten when inflated if necessary. Despite never finding any tube overlap to correct I've done this since the 80's anyways all the time. I have only had one tube explode and it did so where the valve stem it attached to the tube. The cause ? Since it only happened once and the tube is not recounting the event for me, I just call it one of those things, laugh and smile :) Otherwise I have never had a tube explode in the tire, despite like many of us using tubes of all various sorts. Even sticking to a brand name doesn't mean anything, since they could and do change anything about how it's made at any time . I suspect in Kevin's case it may have been from a seating issue and not the tubes, but I am just guessing like everyone else here. As for too much pressure ...personal opinions and experiences aside, by Schwalbe's own standards he is in acceptable range. The tire still should not blow off the rim unless not seated correctly even @ 60 psi. https://www.schwalbetires.com/tech_info/inflation_pressure -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I've also popped tubes inside the tire by over-inflating which has unseated the tire, when trying to stretch a close-fitting and stubborn tire, but the pressure needs to be super excessive. A loose rim/tire combo could certainly pop off with relatively modest over-inflation.

[RBW] Re: Exploding Tires
my first reaction was two things: 1.) i agree with bill and peter that 60psi is high. i usually go no higher than 40 on compass rat traps (measure 50mm), and they need a bit more pressure because the sidewalls are supple 2.) for stiffer / tires with wirebead, i go lower pressure. i blew off the tube and sidewall of some 650bx42 pasela wirebeads, with 40psi front (generally what I inflate Hetres to). i'm a 155lb rider 3.) could also be changing pressure from changing temperature On Friday, January 13, 2017 at 9:10:24 AM UTC-5, Kevin Lindsey wrote: > > So I inflated the 50mm Schwalbe Marathons on my Hunq to 60 psi (rear) and > 40 psi (front) last night and wheeled it into the kitchen in preparation > for what would have been my morning commute.

while the possibility exists that there was a QC problem with the tube, more likely it was a QC problem with the installer like others mentioned overinflation, pinched the tube, not seating the tire onto the rim. minh--who has been guilty of poor QC with tire installation in the past resulting in a similiar blow-out (while riding the bike!), incidentally also with a schwalbe tire. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Exploding Tires
When installing the tube, do you slightly inflate the tube, which makes tucking it between tire and rim without getting pinched much easier? If so, and you know you check it before calling it done, then follow Conway's advice. If not, try it with future installs, and see if that fixes the issue.
