Tubed tyre bands thingy me wotsits!

Hiya Guys,


Does anyone know where I can get some tyre bands from?

By tyre bands I mean the rubber band that goes around the wheel rim to stop the innertube rubbing on the landy wheel rim and rivits etc??

I just dug out a couple of sets of forward control IIB, rims and want to put my tyres on them last time I had a fair few punctures due to not running tyre bands so any info where I can get them from would be greatful!

If I cant get any I wil have to cut up some old innertubes instead.

The cutting up old inner tubes thing sounds good to me.

Tyre bands should be available at any commercial tyre outfit, as they are primarily for fitting to multipiece rims , although you will probably need to cut a new hole for the valve as the slot is in the wrong place for a rubber valve. HTSH

p.s. I run FC rims but do it tubeless , I painted over the rivets and centre section with a rubberoid paint (used for swimming pools IIRC) , they work really well with either 235/85r16 or 265/75r16 even at 20psi for sand use.
