Reclaimed Rider Set — Motorbike Tyre Belt & Bike Chain Bracelet
The Reclaimed Rider Set pairs two of our most-loved biker pieces — the Recycled Motorbike Tyre Belt and the Recycled Bike Chain Bracelet — both genuinely reclaimed from real bikes, both built to outlast the vehicles they came from.
The belt is handcrafted by our artisan partners in Indonesia from a genuine reclaimed motorbike tyre. The original tyres are worn smooth from the road, so the tread pattern you see isn't the tyre's own — it's hand-cut into the rubber by the artisan to recreate that original classic tyre-tread look. The bracelet is hand-linked from a reclaimed bicycle chain sourced from local repair shops here in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I buy the belt and bracelet separately?
Yes — both are also sold individually if you'd prefer just one piece -
Is this genuinely made from a real motorbike tyre?
Yes — the belt is cut from an actual reclaimed motorbike tyre, not a tyre-print or faux material. -
Is the tyre tread pattern original to the tyre?
No — by the time a tyre is reclaimed, its original tread has usually worn away. The pattern you see is hand-cut into the rubber by our artisan to recreate that authentic tyre-tread look, so each belt's pattern is unique to how it was cut, made to mimic how the original tyre tread would have looked. -
Is this vegan?
Our process is — turning the reclaimed rubber and bike chain into these pieces involves no animal-derived materials or processes. As with any reclaimed material, we can't verify the original manufacturing ingredients of the tyre itself, so we can't claim the raw material with absolute certainty — but nothing we add or do to it is animal-derived. -
Will my set look exactly like the photos?
No two pieces are ever identical, since both are cut from genuinely reclaimed materials — the tyre tread pattern and chain link wear vary piece to piece, which is part of the handmade character, not a defect.
Questions and answers
FAQ
Are our pieces comfortable? Suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes — our pieces are lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, and generally suit everyone. Our recycled inner-tube jewellery has metal-free fastenings, ideal if you react to metals. Our earrings are finished with sterling silver, surgical stainless steel, or brass hooks — nickel-free and kind to even sensitive ears. Please note that our rubber pieces are made from reclaimed inner tubes, so they are not suitable for anyone with a latex allergy.
How do I care for my piece? Is it waterproof?
It depends on the material. Recycled inner-tube jewellery is waterproof and hard-wearing; simply wipe clean. Recycled inner-tube and army-canvas bags are water-resistant. Recycled wood and skateboard pieces — keep dry and wipe with a soft cloth. Recycled brass develops a natural patina; buff with a polishing cloth to restore shine. Resin — wipe clean and keep away from prolonged heat. Recycled bike chain — keep dry and wipe after contact with water.
Will my item look exactly like the photos?
The design will be the same as pictured, but no two pieces are ever exactly alike — that’s the beauty of handmade, upcycled materials. The threads and markings on each inner tube, the colours in every skateboard offcut, and the grain of each piece of wood are all different, making your piece genuinely one of a kind.
What is it made from?
Every Paguro piece is handcrafted from genuinely reclaimed materials — inner tubes from buses and trucks, recycled skateboards, reclaimed wood, recycled brass, and more — given a second life by skilled artisans.
