They're great
@Bodgeitandscarper
I don't know how you managed to stitch through that rubber!

@Lilian
They sewed easily, inner tubes are quite thin really.

Thank you very much
@Bodgeitandscarper
I'll have to wait for my inner tubes to be so wrecked that they're no longer able to hold air... That could be a long time. A very long time indeed
As bodgy said, inner tube rubber is very thin
@Lilian
Less than 0.5mm usually and doesn't stretch too much either.

What a lovely way to use, what I assume is an old/damaged, inner tube.

Are these inner tubes from bicycles or car tyres? I don't have inner tubes on my car tyres I thought they were phased out years ago. :thinking:

Bicycles
@Lilian
I'm not sure about car/van tyres, but I'm sure truck tyres still use inner tubes. I've found a few on the roads and used them to make mudflaps for my bike.

Haha, I think it's many, many years since car tyres had inner tubes!

Great way to reuse/recycle.
