so
newish hutchinson carbon comp clincher tires [foldable] 700cx23mm
first time i had ever used them, though they are not new
mavic rims
never had a blowoff before
i had a flat, so had to change the tube
picked up a tube from the pile
it seemed a mite small at the time
i was able to install though, and inflate to 100 psi
10 miles of riding, boom
tire comes off rim for about 4", opposite the stem
of course the tube blew out and exploded, 4" split
replacing the tube, i was able to see it said "26 x 1 to 1.25 inches"
of course i have 700c rims
so it was too small
would that cause the tire to come off the rim though?
if that is true, then i shouldn;t worry now, i used a regular 700c
tube
also, the tire says
"inflation 125 psi, max inflation 125 psi"
since i only used 100 psi, can that be a factor?
i have never used folding tires before, maybe that is relevant?
can;t see how though
would like it to all be due to the too small tube
maybe there was a little tube between tire and rim
but how would that force the tire off the rim?
or maybe there is just something wrong with this tire?
i hate to keep riding and not know why it happened
