In the spirit of Earth Day today, a recycling post seems warranted. What to do with your old innertubes?

The guys over at BikeHacks have a post titled “1,000 Uses for the Inner Tube”, which links to an Instructables page with 20 uses. Personally I use a tube as a chainstay protector on my freeride bike, but unlike the Instructables method of slicing open the tube along the seam and attaching it, I cut the stem out of the tube and then wrap it like grip tape for more burly protection. A couple of zip-ties completes the job.I also cut little strips of tube to be used as an elastic.
