anyone use No-Mar tire changer?

..no, but I use a cheapy Harbor Freight changer with the motorcycle attachment with mojo blocks and a mojo lever http://home.comcast.net/~prestondrake/mojoweb.htm ..I mount it on a half sheet of plywood I keep leaned up the garage wall when not in use..it works fine for the front tire or a 'regular' motorcycle tire, but forget it on the rear tire on these beasts..I wrestled that alligator the other day until I **** near had a heart attack, :lol: then I finally said fkit, and took it down to my indy..he mounted both tires in a zip with his machine for $35..shoulda done that in the first place..never again..
 
I have the Wikco manual tire changer.
http://www.wikco.com/mc110.html

It uses a nylon tipped mount/semount bar. I use electricians tape on the rim clamp to prevent scouring the rim. Been using it for 8 years, no problems. I've changed about 100 tires with it. It is not strong enough to mount the rear tire, for that you need pneumatics.
 
A guy in my club bought one of those NoMars at the International show last year.

He seems to like it.

I did ask them to demo changing a 240 on a shaft wheel and they had one there and did it with what appeared to be ease.

Price wasn't bad but I had a feeling that I could easily break it. if I were going to do it, I'd go ahead and shell out the $2,800 for a machine so I can easily change tires on anything, even friends and neighbors rigs.
 
I've got one of the HF tire changers and I did my own rear tire when I went to the darkside and I'm a cripple. It's just like having good sex, it's all about the lube.
