Handmade in Budapest, Hungary, this belt brings a whole new life to bike inner tubes that would otherwise have ended up in landfill. Each belt has had a previous life and tells a different story. It may have seen smiles and sunny cruising, tears and broken bones, or laughs and exhilarating treks. It could have travelled across the world, commuted in a bustling city, or taught a child how to ride in a quiet street. Now it’s gone from cycling to upcycled, what new adventures will the belt be a part of around your waist?
Each belt is unique, as the inner tubes they are made from vary in size, thickness and pattern. On the belt will be a puncture repair patch from the previous life of the inner tube, and some belts may also feature the original text and stamp from when the inner tube was manufactured. Every belt is proudly finished with a carefully stitched Felvarrom logo.
The belt features a strong metal flip-top buckle, which is fully adjustable. The buckles doesn’t need holes in the belt, and it doesn’t harm the surface of the inner tube. The belt is finished with a black textile tape preventing it from stretching. It is 53 inches (135cm) long and can be easily shortened by following the included shortening guide.
The belt arrives in a complimentary pouch, which is ideal for keeping your belt in when it’s not being worn. The pouch is also made from upcycled inner tubes, and if you decide not to use it to store your belt, it makes a perfect sunglasses holder, or even a tool case!
All the parts of the inner tube belt have been carefully and meticulously cleaned prior to being stitched together, so you can rest assured that it won’t stain anything. Being made from rubber, the belt is of course wipeable, so you don’t need to worry about getting it dirty. It can also be hand washed at 30°C should you need to.
Each inner tube belt is thoroughly checked for quality and workmanship before it leaves the Felvarrom workshop. They are highly durable and built to last, bringing countless more miles of use back to worn out inner tubes!
Please note, inner tubes are made in all sorts of patterns and sizes. Being made from recycled inner tubes, each belt is unique and so the appearance will differ slightly from what is seen in the picture. Every belt features a puncture repair patch, but the placement and appearance of the patch will differ from belt to belt . Some belts may feature text from the manufacturer of the inner tube, others may not. The placement, size and content of any text will differ on each belt.
