October 3, 201114 yr Author Yea, they should work, but you may have disloged the rimband. Don't take much! jesus, took me all my effort to do the tyre now ive gotta do it again !! ahh well, its exersize for the shoulder i spose... as a first timer at tyre swapping, and a complete ametuer, i didnt even think to look at any banding etc.... just took the tyre off, swapped it round the other way then tried for ages and ages to get the trye back on its beads....so what is the rim band for then ? as for the lengths, i figured the one id put in was too long

There are numerious articles on here and elsewhere, but if you gotta local shop(or experienced rider), it is money well spent, trust me.

Yes it is, and if you must, HERE is a brief guide. You need lots of lube, clean things well, and be sure you did not puncture the band while fighting the tire, as this has been done many times. Band must sit perfect in the machined groove, and if you do not have one, the new bands with integrated stem are worth the skin! Get on with it!
