Opinions wanted:
I’ve seen recommendations in the mags and also seen tire changes at the races where they use baby powder or talcum powder on the tube prior to installation. Is this a feel good step or does it actually help prevent friction between the tube and the tire?

Stops tubes wearing thin over time. Also gives a bit of pinch flat protection.

Tube goes in, tube comes out nicely covered.
Bag gets packed away for next time.
Easy, relatively mess free, and efficient use of powder.
