I always check the bead carefully and inflate once, release all the air and inflate again. I can easily see I possibly made an error on the one that blew out after ten minutes but the one that I rode around on for a month before it spontaneously blew doesn't seem like it could be installation error. I should add that the sealant also makes a huge mess with a blowout, I am still undecided if I want to try latex again next season.

If a minor installation error means I am riding on a time bomb then this seems like a very high price to save a few watts.
