Beck when I used to do a lot of moutain biking I used my old tubes for two things. First I would cut them into small pieces to make patches for other inner tubes and the second think I would do is cut a strip of inner tube and then use zip ties to hold it on the bike frame to protect the chain when it would slap on the frame.

They are also great for floating down the river in Gruene, TX. Always bring a second one for your ice chest.
