[Healeys] Tube Tire :Mounting

[Greg Mandas]

I remember in the sixties, after the tube and tire are on the rim, I was instructed to over inflate the tube just a bit with the valve missing to "get the kinks out". Afterwards replace valve and inflate to proper presure.

The white powder is talcum powder to prevent sticking and providing a 
kind of lubricant for the tube to position itself correctly during 
inflation. It also helps to keep natural rubber from deteriorating.
