The elastic properties of the rubber are reduced if you just pull it out of the box and install it without expanding it first. It’s also just common sense to do this to remove the wrinkles.


No, you're still wrong. The "wrinkles" are what get "pinched" between the rim and tire, when someone does not first, partially inflate the tube before insertion in the tire.
One should also make sure the rubber strip on the rim is good, and covers the spoke ends, or that can also cause a premature failure, as well.
Many times, I have seen where someone has gone to air up a bicycle tire at a gas station, etc. and because a compressor puts the air in so fast (unlike a car tire) they have a very loud premature failure.
I have never seen a failure, due to improper tube stretching.

I owned a bicycle shop for many years, and built many BMX bikes, from the frame up....back in the day. I know how this works, and don't need a lecture......from someone who does not.

Try to remove yourself from the overly complex mechanics of bicycle tube repair and think of the properties of anything that “stretches” how it is stored and the end application of that devise. I used a simple analogy to explain a more complex subject. There was no lecturing from me; you are the one who felt the need to correct me. I have plenty of other things to do a bit more pressing than debating bicycle tire maintenance practices. But if you wish, I'll carry on and take another approach and counter what you say, then you can do the same, and on......

While I will admit that I’ve never owned a bicycle shop, and don’t consider myself a bicycle repair man, I do have a pretty good grasp on mechanics, physics and maintenance philosophy. They taught me that shit is nuke school learning how to operate, maintain and repair nuclear reactors and their auxiliary equipment. I apply that knowledge for my current employer. That was a pretty good jab you threw at me though, well done.

My dear old friend Randal....
When someone acts like a prick, and bates me, I’ll call him a prick, regardless of that person’s overwhelming post count. Including you Randy. And you’ve said many things, to many people, much worse that wasn’t even warranted. It’s become common behavior from you. Why don’t you do us both a favor and just click the ignore button? I'll do the same. What do you say??

Geez, how did this all go south?

Michael, as always, my question for those who perceive break in as a real property is this: why does it stop when it's perfect? Why doesn't it keep breaking in at the same rate past that point? It makes sense for car engines--bits of metal heating up, grinding off, whatever, but not really for something as simple as a speaker.

I heard Iran was looking for a few good men. With those credentials you should polish up your resume. Typical Project Manger BS, no time for them...off to drink some wine.

For all those that I've called worse than a "Prick" I apologize, Michael seems to have a better memory than I, he is a very smart individual.

I think those must have been bogus Xanies, they didn't do squat for anyone on this board!

If you're going to pass out drugs, make sure they are the real deal. I don't wanna see anyone here shipped off to Iran! \:\(
