I had a vexing tube problem a few months ago. I got a flat, checked the tire and rim, saw a wire pulled it out and put a new tube in. Filled it and started a ride and bang it goes flat. Checked everything over could not find a problem and just figured I pinched the tube when installing. Was not far from home so I walked back put in another tube pumped it up and bang it blows out? Now I have gone through three tubes and cannot figure out what is going on. I take the tire completely off the rim and find there is a small tear in the tire right at the bead. Sometimes it will hold the tube until I sit on the bike other times the tube just balloons out and blows. Sometimes these things are a bugger to find.
