Why does a tube fail during or shortly after mounting?

This can be because the tube is too small but is usually due to the inside of the tire and/or rim being rough or proper mounting procedures not being followed. Remove any rust from the rim, lubricate the entire tube with approved mounting lubricant before mounting then inflate, deflate and re-inflate to allow the tube to properly seat.
