Title: Anyone made a tyre belt?
Post by: fuaran on 13 March, 2018, 11:44:21 am: I have a few old tyres lying around, it could be fun to make them into belts.
Anyone tried it? Recommend any howto guides?
What sort of tyre to use? Where to buy suitable buckles and bolts/rivets etc?

Post by: Torslanda on 13 March, 2018, 04:24:19 pm: Our beloved Arch, OTP, used to recycle old tyres into belts.

She hasn't been on the forum for over 3 years. I have contact details for Mr. Arch and will send you a PM.

Post by: Peter on 13 March, 2018, 04:42:19 pm: I can see a thread developing:- Which tyres for belts? Marathons for standard or even rugged belts (holding up cargo trousers, etc.) Slicks when you have tummy trouble and need speed rather than reliability?

The market for them is quite big I think, tour companies could offer to convert into a belt the tyre you rode, for instance, across France.
