OLD TUBES

 There are many things you can use old inner tubes for, simple things like chopping them up and using them to hold tubes like rubber bands.

This shows a short piece of tube that is cut part way down so it can be pulled over the grip to protect it when the bike is up ended to work on.

A bit longer and it could have stopped the  little scrape on the dropper remote.
 These are also handy if you have coloured grips and don't want to get them all oil stained while working on the bike.
This shows the grip with the tube cover from below.











Old bits of tube can also be chopped down and slit to cover chain stays and either zip tied or taped into place to make a chainstay protector.

A design for a front mud guard attached to the front fork will follow soon.
