Wrap old tube around frozen/burst water pipes. Reinforce with 50 wraps of strong string. Repair correctly at your leisure.

With all these hot deals on used tubes I thought I'd offer some ideas on what they can be used for once they have lost their pneumatic containment capabilities. Things I've used old tubes for: Cut them into rubber bands to hold electronic parts during assembly. Used them in strips to wrap and protect parts of my MTB from chain gouging. Wrapped the handle of my snow saw for better grip in cold and icey conditions. Works for great for any hand tool. Used them as shock cords to secure flexible hydraulic lines on heavy equipment. Used a short section as a sheath for the tool sharpening file I carry when doing trial work so my pack doesn't get torn up. For covering sections of locks or chains to keep them from damaging paintwork. Cut them into loops to secure the floppy strap ends on my packs. Criss-crossed over BOB trailer hitches to dampen the trailer from bouncing excessively. To squeeze parts together for gluing during woodworking. Screwed to the garage wall for a handy loop to keep door from blowing closed. So, don't just let them sit around. Use your imagination and put them to work for another purpose! Rick PS- And still I have plenty available so no thanks in advance to all you would-be donors. Keith A.

Buy James' tube, Lisa's air, some of those valve caps and nuts and I think you'd be safe for a ride. OH! And I have an underseat bag with a hole in it that I'll throw in for nothing.
