Bikes: too many sparkly Italians, some sweet Americans and a couple interesting Japanese

Why talc and the mess that comes with it? Many many years ago I supervised mobile equipment maintenance shops and we used talc on tubes as without it the heat generated could bond the tubes to the tire in our heavy trucks. I inflate bike tire (~ 40 lbs) defleate and then inflate to full pressure and have never had a problem with a tube other than road hazzard puncture,
