I make my own from knackered inner tubes, cut `em down, glue the ends, cut a valve hole.
I'm not a tree hugger, its about the only recycling I do!!

all my spare tubes are all decent so i'll leave them.
i was thinking of duct tape but that'll leave to much gunk on the rim if i ever have to get to the spokes. plus i'd have had to cut the width down.
insulation tape sounds good or the rubber inners
cheers for the idea's

i use a good insulation tape
start at the opposite side of the valve hole, go round once close to the rim wall as possible, then around again as close to the other side of the rim wall as possible then once around the middle and end where you started
then to open up the valve hole i use a multi screwdriver tool, the tool's end is the same size as the valve hole, just screw it through and it cuts out the insulation tape perfectly
