Good idea! Old inner tube rubber is useful for a lot of things!
Sealing headset races and seat tubes for winter.
Frame protection where brackets are fitted
Providing grip to open stiff jars
As a skin to cover rusty or tatty MTB handlebars
Over car tyre levers to protect the bike when giving a stubborn part some welly
Over car tyre levers to save making more dents when straightening car bodywork dents from inside
To protect classic cranks from toestrap rub/scuff
As rubber bands to keep spare inner tubes & folding tyres folded
As a thumb protector on a beachcasting fishing rod with multiplier reel
Anybody got any more - "101 uses for a dead inner tube!" ?
