Re: Latex tubes and spontaneous blowouts [jackmott]
Pretty much you have to blow up a couple tubes before you realize OK yes I have to check the whole perimeter really carefully.

Even better is to install them so the tube never gets under the bead. With powder on the tire and tube both, enough air to hold shape, and making sure the tube is happily situated before putting that last bead on, I never have that issue.

It's also worth mentioning that once a tire has blown off, the kevlar bead will often be torn, making more likely to happen again with that tire.
