Default What's the best way to install a new tire tube ?

It's three step process.
Wheel on the inside.
Tube in between.
Tire (tyre) on the outside.
Use a new tube and tire, which are relatively cheap. Not worth
buggering about with old stuff and "fix a flat".
Haven't tried Daryll's inhalation technique.
The UF/ZZ technique is good. On most gliders it's easy with a split
wheel.

The easiest way to split a wheel is to use air pressure. Undo the bolts
then inflate the inner tube, this provides even pressure round the wheel
and splits it.
