Oh another TOP TIP from me!!! Totally forgot about this one!
Modern bikes have mainly Black rims - Black tyres - Black inner tubes!
The inside of the rims are mainly black too! Bare with me and read:
The next time you have an hour to yourself find a roll of masking tape
which is wider than the 'rim tape', enough to fit inside the rim so it is really
close to the edge of the inner rim, then Fit the tyre/tube as normal, with the
masking tape in place it will provide a highlighted section between the rim tube & tyre,
if the inner tube is trapped between the rim/tyre you will be able to see it more clearly
because of the white/cream tape, hopefully you'll never trap a tube.
