I pump up the tube just enough for the bead to seat - probably less than 10 psi. Then I go around the rim and give the bead another push around both sides. I check to make sure that everything is seated properly. Only then do I inflate to the full pressure.
I had a flat with a lunar the 1st time I rode on it after zero flats in years. I'm not convinced they're worth their weight savings. They are much lighter than stock tubes, though.
