Dan, Are you coating the tube and the inside of the tire with baby powder? I do this and have never pinched a tube.

At first they did not fit the axle, even they measured as though they should. A little buffing with some 220 solved that problem. However, I tried the Clorox bottle and the light cardboard and neither would work. In fact, I still ended up pinching a hole in the tube. So I have 3 tubes left and if I go through those, I will have to go to some different wheels. This is insane. Why would anyone ever design a wheel like this, to go on an airplane, setting everyone up for failure from the start. I am up to four tubes shot, now. I should be flying, instead, I am screwing around with something that should be a no-brainer task. Daniel R.
