I believe the canonical material is a $5 note.

I don't know where you get your tyres from, but we use $50 notes.
$5 doesn't get you much rubber, er, much of a repair.

It does patch a split in the tire roughly 10cm long though.

I've used the tongue out of an old leather boot I found on the side of
the road.

I keep a metre or so of my dried foreskin removed at birth.

You were born with dried foreskin?

No wonder you have no foresight.

I've been known to use dried grass.

We smoked it later. ;-)

Hey
In the middle of nowhere, at the plains of Croatia, with 8km to the nearest
town and 5 km down a gravelroad, I got a 2 cm cut in the sidewall. There I
got a little piece of curtain from a truck servicing a excavator, this I
wrapped 2 times around the tube, and it held the 30 km back to Pula. Since
then I allways carry a piece of cloth in my saddlebag
