anyone use a No-Mar tire changer and wheel balancer? Looks like a good investment if you have a lot of bikes to maintain. how is the quality and does it really protect the wheels from damage.

 

Is this what you are talking about? It looks like a nice piece of equipment. http://www.nomartirechanger.com/

 

I have had one for about 3 years. YES it is well worth the money, and it will not scratch your wheels. I changed the tires on my Ducati's $2,000 Marchesini
wheels several times ..... not a mark on them. I have a tow hitch attachment for mine and bring it when I trailer somewhere, along with spare tires. Changed the tires on several different motorcycles, easily and for grins changed a tire from my Chevy Avalanche.
Well worth the money. No more dragging a wheel somewhere else for somebody to change and charge me $$.

 

you may want to look at tirestripper.com. Bought one this spring and did two tires already. The balancer works well also.

 

I have one too, as said it's a good changer, I have not damaged any wheels yet, I've changed car tires on mine as well, ATV tires, it's not the greatest on dirt bike tires. Once you learn to use it you can change one pretty quick. Looks like they are including a few more things now in their package since I bought mine in 05, I got one of the first pro models he built, he's changed the top now, it's bent, mine was saddled, but it still functions the same.
