Any suggestions are welcome.

What's your rim strip? I was a long-time Velox user until
just this summer when I switched over to FSA rim strips
which are much thinner. They make more room for the beads of
the tires, rsulting in easier installation and easier
seating, especially with the tighter beads on foldable
tires.

Interesting question. The (Ritchey) wheels came with a yellow
plastic rim strip, and a year or so ago I replaced it with
basic Velox. I'm not sure I got the right width, but in any
case it seems to ride just a bit high on the edges. I can see
how this might be a contributor.

Mystery solved.

Your tire's inner diameter at the bead is the same size as your
rim at the painted line he

Any occlusion such as a fat rim liner can (and in your case
probably did) wreck that very precise fit.

Yes, I am now thinking this is likely to the issue. Last time I
changed the tube and tire, I noticed the tape was not well
centered at all points, so I reapplied it. It still seemed hard
to keep it far enough down in the well. Furthermore, the fact
that I changed the strip on both wheels and am having the same
problem on both also points this direction.

I will report back after I've had time to work on it.
