Did that before, comfy, but yes, somewhat stinky.

Looks like your a big fan of the old tubes. Got a top tube protector too? I had the same idea. They make so so rubber bands too.

I haven't noticed much trouble with smells or stains. I did wipe the tubes down first, and I do usually wear gloves (road rash preventative!), but very comfy indeed. Yes, the top tube protector is of the same stuff. What can I say? Cheap and handy wins the day for me.

I wrap cotton tape over the tube wrap. All the comfort, none of the odor.
