Several of 1000 Uses for Old Bicycle Tubes

Step 8 Shims

Instead of metal-on-metal when mounting a hose clamp on a pipe, put a slice of bike inner tube between the hose clamp and the pipe; I've used this with good results on the handlebars of my mountain bike and the mounting of my GPS rack. Sorry, this is not the best pic ever.

I have done similar to this on my bicycle computer, but used zip ties instead. Inner tubing is agree great to recycle, I have also use it along with what you have listed to keep my shed door open when it's windy and I'm getting my bike out, I'll just wedge it under the door and the door stays.

I have also wrapped some around my shower head to replace a broken washer and then keep it in place. (best thing about that one is that you have extra grip when you have wet hands)

And finally the price for handle bar wraps is ridiculous, instead I have wrapped inner tube around to give grip on the bar.
