Bill, I have a belt with a nice nickel plated buckle made from one of my tubulars. The people that make them are very clever and I have worn it for 6 months with no problems. The added plus is that the rubber in the belt holds pants better!

Alternatively, use a puncture repair kit and continue to use them as inner tubes. Tongue
