Ranger Bands

i just headed over to the local motorcycle shop earlier today and asked for one of their worn out inner tubes. the guy only had a couple because it winter and they don't get a ton of business, but he gladly gave me one.

i cut it up into a few bands and confirmed my suspicions that these are thicker and stronger than those made of bicycle inner tubes. larger diameter too, so they won't work as well on little things. these would be great for those larger tasks though when you are sitting there wondering how on earth you are going to get that ranger band around that thing, if only you could make it fit it would be perfect.
 
I cut up bicycle inner tubes.

Were do you find such small innertubes?
 
My road bike tires/tubes are tiny - you are looking for something like 700x23. You could spend $8 in gas driving all over town looking for a free one or go pay $4 - $6 for a new one that can be cut into many, many bands. These tires/tubes are rated for 85 - 110 lb. pressure - very strong.
