Also, you should put a little oil on the tools you are using and on the beads of the tire to make things slide on easier. Take your time and do not rush your effort. Make sure you are not pinching the inner tube during installation (as someone noted already).

The tube looks new. Is it really necessary to replace a good tube when moving to a different wheel? This isn’t a matter of “cheaping out.” I have a spare new tube on hand, but I don’t want to throw away a good part if it isn’t necessary.
