    I always thought the baby powder "trick" was standard knowledge when installing tubes.

    I don't know why you would think that since the last time I bought a tube, there were no instructions with it saying to do that, but perhaps they include them now.

    Sorry I didn't mean to infer I learned that from the tube instructions. Worked in a auto shop in high school and before that doing tires on the farm, we always used baby powder on the tubes. I just found it interesting that old school racers used to do that as well when here I thought it was a common practice for tube installation.
    Insert "the more you know star" picture here.

    Perhaps if we could read Chinese [or Korean] the instructions might be more helpful .
