I am putting together a new rig for rec diving. When you get a bicycle tire to cut for your HOG webbing, what size inner tube do you get? Is it a standard size? Not much of a pedal pusher, so just wondering if one size or type fits better. Thanks
What tire for a HOG rig?

I use the std size for say a mtn bike that you get at Wally World for 3-4 bucks.
Walmart.com: Bell Universal Bicycle Inner Tube, 26": Bikes & Riding Toys
This is what I bought last time and it works well. Cut the bands to 1.25-1.5 wide. Narrower and they seem to want to loosen up. thicker and they are harder to stuff a light in. IMO.

If your local university has a student run bike shop there is a pile of flat inner-tubes waiting for a new home.

Could someone enlighten me as to what you're using these pieces of tire for? A picture might be worth a thousand words here. Thanks! (Just starting to learn this stuff!)
They are used to hold the bottom of the back up lights in place on the harness.

They can also be used on the waist strap to secure excess webbing. I use both of my rigs for wet and dry suit diving and to allow students to try out. So my waist strap is not trimmed as much as it would be. On the buckle side I fold the excess back and secure it with the bands. Also allows me to mount my Dalton knife horizontal and have easy access while the waist strap from the right side covers it.

Seems like an easy way to lose a knife? Is this really secure enough? As opposed to mounting the knife holder permanently through the webbing?
