My rear tire went flat overnight and when I inflated it in the morning, a bulge formed (see photos). I removed the tire and found a slightly worn spot about the size of a dime on the inside of the tire where the bulge was. I couldn't find any debris in the tire. The tube itself is not worn in that spot.
I remounted the tire twice and the bulge formed in the same place each time. I tried inserting a folded dollar bill, but it didn't help.
The tire is about 2 years old, but hasn't had much use (just occasional city riding). The tube is about a week old.
Has anyone seen this before?
Does anyone know what might have caused it?
