Inner tires : wonderfull stuff
hello
I always have a lot of inner tyres with me (bicycle, small motorbike), perfect to fix (soft)luggage Cut in small pieces they are perfect fixators for any part of the bike Having carb problems in Siberia, a  mechanic did broke ( 3 cm gap)the rubber connection between the engine and the carb of my XT 600Using a 5 cm ring of a inner tyre of a small motorbike I did fix it! I took off the carb, rolled the ring of this tyre over the remaining original rubber on the engine, put the carb back on , and stretched the ring over the (broken)rubber part ! The gap was now covered and the bike worked wel, we traveled to Ulan Bator...no problem at all for anothe 2000 Km  take some inner tyres, incredibly usefull stuff.

Inner tubes -another name for them
Rubber bands
These also make excellent rubber bands. Cut on a diagonal for longer lengths - or get a larger tube ... you may find truck inner tubes beside the road or at a tyre repair place. Bungee A bicycle inner tube can be used as a bungee... Gasket Need a rubber gasket? Find an area on the tube without ridges and cut that out to suit.
