All,
I have looked thru Maintenence & Tire / Wheel posts and can not find any posts about using in home tire changer. Wondering if anyone has seen the No-Mar Cycle Hill tire changer in action. To look, here is the website http://www.nomar-secure.com/category_s/33.htm . They have a good video about it, just wondering if anyone here has seen it in action or used one of these. I am going to IMS-Charlotte,NC Feb 25 and NO-MAR will be there for me to see up close.
I ride a bunch of miles in a year, usually going thru 2 rear tires and one front tire change a year. Right now I can only base my tire wear length from my PC800. I would get 16,000 miles on rear and 19,000 on front wearing them down till center tread starts to blend out. I know, I know, don't tell me its too dangerous, I've done it that way for 13.5 yrs on Dunlop and Metzlers, have not had ANY TROUBLE what so ever on dry pavement or even heavy rain. Great gripping tires. Would take PC800 tires off and go to dealer and have them put new tire on, that's minimum $75 for 3 tire changes a year,plus a 16 mile round trip in truck. Sometimes I would buy tire at dealer or bring mine along. Only had NT since 12-7-11, right now have 5,350 miles on it. Since I would take off tire anyhow, just thinking about getting a Do-It-Yourself tire changer and balancer to do all at my house.
No Mar has kit, changer and balancer plus extra items for $655, that could pay for itself in about 5 - 6 yrs, not to mention its at my conveinence of time!!
LETS SEE WHAT WE CAN LEARN IN THIS POST!!!!!!:smile::redface: Plus I try to buy made in USA and this is.
