One good way to keep twists out of the tube is to put just enough air in it to make it round out, prior to installing the tube in the tire. Start with the tire on the rim, but only one bead of the tire in the rim. Install the tube into the tire. Once the tube is in the tire and you visually inspect it for twists, you can put the tire back on the rim. You will most likely need to deflate the tube in order to get the tire bead all the way back on. The proceed as described in my first post.
