The bands look simple to fit with normal tools on this video.  [size=1.35em]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vDuwL5DWfU[/size]

That video looks quite straightforward, but you'd need the long allen key, which should be given to the purchaser as part of the kit, and know what the required torque setting is. If you went to a non Tyron Band approved tyre depot, I can't see them allowing an individual to dismantle and refit the bands. I have enough trouble getting to watch my bike tyres being fitted to ensure the rims aren't marked.

I can't believe this! I thought mine was a one off,I had 2 tyres fitted at a honda dealership on a Pan European and when I picked them up there were marks on both wheels but the front was a joke,I told the mechanic and he said they were like that,I started fuckin and blinding and said I wanted to see the gaffer who sided with the mechanic and said he'd already called the law,I said great I'll fucking tell them what's gone on,they didn't come,he hadn't called them at all,I was right pissed off and wasn't going to get anywhere so fucked off.I initially painted them but wasn't happy and got them powder-coated,with new bearings it cost a right few bob,I NEVER don't watch when I'm having tyres fitted anymore but an expensive lesson!
