I popped a tube whilst I was inflating a tyre the other week, damn near deafened me. Think it was a pinch flat around the valve when I put the tyre back on. Bought a new tube and followed the instructions on the packet, they were different to my regular method. essentially
1 Partially inflate tube
2 Place in tyre
3 Put tyre on rim
4 Fully inflate
Worked well, the tube being already in the tyre seems to avoid piching the tube. Does anybody else use this method or is it just me being a muppet all these years and I should hand my cycling shoes in at the door on the way out?
