Update:
So I used the soapy solution and applied it to the tire bead and it helped.
However there is still a slight hop. Next I'll add a second layer of rim
tape and report back. Thanks all to your help.

I've had this issue before. Once it was resolved by going to high pressure
to make sure the bead is properly seated, but you already tried that.
I blame the tube. I've had more than a little bad luck with faulty tubes
that will have a massive bulge at a thin spot. Also had this problem, for

Drew,
I like them. The 650b version weighs 470g which isn't the lightest but damn
light. They handle hard pack and semi loose dirt trails nicely with
pressures around 32# front & 35# rear and are really fast rolling with the
center ridge. Not much puncture protection which has me considering a
tub
I reccommend Grand Bois 650b 36 hole black label rims. GB/Compass tires
practically auto seat on them from my experience.

Och! Don't dismiss the hatchet so quickly, Hugh. It's amazing how many
things a hatchet solves, applied properly, from slivers to amputations.
Some require finesse, others brute force, others a combination in varying
order. Though I find jobs that start out requiring finesse that end with
ogre
Thanks Brian & Tim, I'll try another layer of rim tape and use soapy water.
Now Patrick I realize you like your Grandfors but there will be no hatchet
job.
Mark, I'll pull the wheel and slide the tire and try it again. Thanks!

I had the identical thing happen with my Rock N Road rear tire. Nice
prominent hop . I partially deflated and wrestled with the tire to get it
to sit differently. Inflated it to the max psi, etc. There seemed to be no
rhyme or reason to what made it sit properly, it just popped at one point
and
Gransfors Bruk hatchet?
With abandon,

Synergy rims have a deep well that can make tire seating difficult. It's
the rim, not the tube.
Brian suggests a thicker rim strip to build up the well. That's a good
start.
I also suggest lubing the bead of the tire with something (I use liquid
soap) to help it slip.

Did you add an extra layer of rim strip to help with seat the bead? I think
some folks do that.
