Pete, and anyone else for that matter.

Here's a couple of McMaster-Carr part numbers for large, heavy duty type rubber bands that work as a nice adjunct to the inner tube-homemade jobbies.

#12205T82 2.5"x.5"
#12205T83 3.5"x.5"
#12205T84 5"x .625"

For anyone not familiar with McMaster-Carr, they are one of if not the best mail/web order sources for all kinds of neat industrial type stuff. From metal stock to first aid supplies they've got it. Their printed catalogues are considered collectable and fetch some high prices on ebay. They ship incredibly fast and they have no minimum order, you can order one item or a thousand and you don't have to be a business to order from them. I highly recommend bookmarking their website.
