So based on a YouTube video, I think that my tire is not sitting right when inflated. It seems like it dips under from the two points on the orange like I drew. I tried deflating, spraying soapy water and refilling it but it didn't pop up like the video said it should have. I deflated and retried the process three times now with the same result. I also am not sure if on this air pump, the top number is supposed to be the same as the bottom number. The tire already feels pretty full at 19 so I stopped it because I'm scared of blowing out the tube or tire, but should I let it keep going?
