The tube could be too big. One that is too fat will effectively be too long
as well. A fold shouldn't cause a bump, though. Try a different tube
anyway.
I'll say this even though you say you know the tricks: Make sure the tube
is tucked in before you fit the tyre bead. Push the valve up into the tyre
before inflation (do this without valve lockring).
