| + | <blockquote>The main issue I experienced was the "demount" bar that they include would not, could not, get under the lip of the tire. \\ | ||
| + | No way, no how. I used a typical tire iron to hook the lip of the tire and make space for their demount bar. \\ | ||
| + | The other thing I struggled with was the "Locking Cam and Dog Blocks" that clamp the wheel in place. \\ | ||
| + | I got them to work, just took a bit of fiddling. Might be something I get the hang of or I may opt to try the optional ($$) "Posi-Clamps". \\ | ||
| + | No-Mar indicates the Posi-Clamps are suggested for "Heavy Cruisers like Harley's". \\ | ||
| + | I have no doubt that there is also a bit of skill/technique that will come with experience and repeated use. \\ | ||
| + | Everything gets easier the more you do it. \\ | ||
| + | I will also say, breaking the beads was quite easy (which was the major stumbling block I had when I had tried previously to remove a tire). \\ | ||
| + | And, once I got the demount tip under the lip of the tire, there were no major issues removing the tire. \\ | ||
| + | Next I remounted the tire I had just taken off, just for practice. (you'll have to trust me that this picture was taken after the previous one!) \\ | ||
| + | Again, it didn't go quite like the videos, but in the end the tire got on the wheel. I didn't need to resort to any prying and using their mounting bar worked. \\ | ||
| + | I would feel pretty safe doing this on the CF wheels (which can't withstand the prying of typical tire irons). \\ | ||
| + | I ended up removing that tire again and also removing the tire from the rear wheel. \\ | ||
| + | I didn't attempt to remount the rear, it was late and I was worn out. But, the system works. \\ | ||
| + | Overall I've been very happy with the No-Mar tire changer. \\ | ||
| + | It's a bit pricey, especially compared to low cost/Chinese competitors. But, this is American made and seems very well thought out. \\ | ||
| + | Seems like it will be worth it and in the long run I might even break even compared to paying others to mount tires for me. \\ | ||
