Picked this up second hand for £100 from a guy at work..
totally unridden...been sat in his shed in its box for the last 2 years.
everythings brand new....but i do have one problem with it....i just cannot get the rear tyre to stay beaded, when the pressure hits 60-65psi it bulges and pops off the rim....any ideas?

Sounds like the tyre bead is duff. Have you tried swapping the tyres over i.e front to back and vice versa? To see whether its a tyre problem rather than the rim.0

yea, it beaded ok
i have it on now at 80psi...but it kept doing this
ill ride it around slowly and see how it goes, and probably change the tyre if it happens again0 -
Sure you weren't pinching the tube between the tyre and the rim? So as soon as you inflate it pops the tyre out.0

no deffo not.....i tried for 3-4 hrs yesterday to get it to stay on....i think the tyres defective.
(I've put on tons of tyres before just like most of us have lol)0 -
Bit the bullet and changed the tyre and tube....problem solved.
got 12miles this afternoon....too hot and fixed is harder than i thought
great fun though.
