Replacement tubes

Hi there all. I put this in the newbie question area but it doesn't seem to be generating any replies... which I really need. The wear is getting worse...

I am quite new to slingshots and I'd appreciate some opinions. I have one of these:

and I'm loving it. I've put hundreds (if not thousands) of shots through it and I have noticed that the tube that's on the metal of the fork has started to go black and in a few spots furry. I'm guessing that means the latex is pretty much done?

I would like to play with the length of the tubes and so I'd like to get a length I can cut myself. Would this:

Work? As far as I can tell with a ruler the bands on my slingshot currently are about 9mm outer diameter and about 1.5mm thick. I don't really have the money to buy loads of tubes until I find the right one is why I am asking.

Thanks for any help.
In addition, I am pretty sure the tines on the slingshot are 6mm in diameter. Would blue theratube be a good replacement?

I really appreciate any help you can give.
