Looking to get some extra black rubber bands, the "heavy duty" ones, that come with cheaper bike computers, cadence sensors etc.

Had a look on ebay but they don't seem to have them.

Any suggestions?

do you mean o-rings?

They are generally measured by inner diameter & thickness, so you might need to do some measuring up of what you need.

ebay:

ebay o-rings

or it might be easier to search a 'proper' shop:

Simply Bearings O-rings

Many thanks!

O rings might be the best solution.

I cut a slice through an old inner tube, whatever width you need. You can alter the diameter a bit by cutting diagonally.

@gobuchul If its the O-rings as used for the Garmin mount you're after, I may have some I can pop in the post.

Post up on here if they are and I'll have a look tonight

@carlos - thanks for the kind offer. But it's for something a little bigger.

Might try that inner tube idea, I have a job lot of 26" tubes that are sitting in a box still.

You want to search for silicone o-rings, not rubber o-rings to find the right thing.
