A lot of bike shops have the same problem and although many tubes in the Seattle area wind up getting recycled into cool <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/alchemygoods.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alchemy Goods<\/a> products, you can probably get used tubes just for asking.

One 700c tube plus a couple of buckles from <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/product\/612219\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">REI<\/a> or a craft store and a couple of zip ties (total cost, less than two bucks) will yield a pair of strong and stretchy rack straps or a belt or what have you.
