You did good man, thanks for showing how it's done. I just got the cycle hill version of these because I'm sick of wrestling tire spoons and pinching tubes. I'll be mounting mine to the floor though.
Got into changing my own tires for the same reason as you, had Honda dealer put my Honda tire on backwards and crushed the seal !! Their story ,"how do we know the rotation" and of course ,they didn`t crush the seal !!! Honda dealer in Ottawa Ont.
Yeah, such is life now. People do not get properly trained and unfortunately much of the younger crowd don't give shit about anything but me me me. Hopefully you've gotten good at it. I have improved my process quite a bit.
Hello Ken, I'm across the pond in England, I have a no mar tyre changer that i used today for my 2007 BMW R1200R, man did i sweat,don't they make it look easy on their videos, glad to say your battle looked easier than mine though i think bead breaking was about the same,I think plenty of lube is the answer for mounting, thanks for sharing had I videoed mine there would be too much swearing on it, all the best from over the pond.
Hi John. Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, they do make it look easy. I think I did hear you cussing all the way over here. I'm due for more tire changes and dreading it a bit. But a I mentioned in the videos, a big reason for having this thing is to end up with new tires and NO NEW FKN SCRATCHES AND CHIPS in the wheels. As soon as it cools down a bit I'll get to it. And yes, I think the more the merrier on the lube for installation.
By the third tire on my NoMar, it was almost as easy as they make it look in their videos. Just need a little practice and follow their technique to the letter.
@@LTVoyager I totally agree,I realised the mistake I was making was pulling the handle on the mounting bar with the palm of my hand facing up,I rectified this by moving the bar so it’s pointing away from myself,this worked for me.
It looks like your model NoMar is different than mine, but I have way less trouble. For one thing, it looks like yours is mounted wrong on the hitch. Mine mounts so that the changer is facing to the rear rather than the side. That way you aren’t torquing sideways on the receiver tube when you use the bead breaker and it is a lot more rigid that way. Did you move the one tire clamp to the other position to break the bead per the NoMar instructions? It looks like yours was in the wrong position which is why the bead breaker kept sliding off the rim as the angle wasn’t correct. The first time I used my NoMar. It wasn’t as easy as it looked on their videos, but after watching the videos a couple more times, I got things sorted out and it works well now. I noticed you put the bar in on the wrong side. If you put it in as they show in the videos, you can use your hip to help bump the bar around and that works better with more control than does pulling the bar towards your body. The real key is to use lots of lube in the right places and use the wood blocks to keep the bead in the drop center. Do that and things go pretty well. I bought the bead clamps and the “thing” tool, but found I don’t need either one I get my technique down. And if you spin the bar clockwise and use your hip to push on it, you can hold the tire more easily (assuming you are right handed) and that helps keep it from spinning.
Bought this tire changer and if you think it will be easy think again it is HARD.....sure pros make anything look easy.. One hint ALL the No Mar company videos? COMMENTS DISABLED another HUGE hint of trouble? They dont sell on Amazon,,,why? Amazon has FEEDBACK....they do sell on Ebay but feedback is much easier to control on Ebay. If this was on Amazon it would without any doubt whatsover NOT have high percent of reviews....Bead breaker worked well and the demount bar was okay but I am stumped getting this 190 dunlop on what a biiaaaatch ....
At 1:30, that Y shaped mount (the one with all the holes in it) you are installing, what is the dimensions of the square tubing. I want to use NoMar's "Posi-Clamp Wheel Clamping System" on a rig I am building.
Not sure about your model but it specifies on my classic hd to have only 3" of the vertical main tube exposed passing through the set screw locking collar. I think the excess you have protruding has lowered your pivot point on the bead breaker giving you less mechanical advantage
Exactly the problem. No leverage, AND you’re supposed to move the forward block where the circle mark is, so your brad breaker is directly underneath wheel, so it doesn’t flip when you press down. It’s easy as pie with practice but you HAVE to move the bead to the drop center. That’s the trick to mount tire, 0 effort 😎

Smart move mounting it to the floor. Good luck with it. Be patient with it.

@@JohnG11000 Thanks. I'll get better at it. Lots of time in between tire changes though so have to relearn the process to some extent each time.

Thanks LTVoyager. Lots to think about. I really appreciate the feedback. I'll watch their videos a few more times and hopefully improve the process.
4:40 "That's what you don't want to do" LOL
It looks like a 2-man job actually, you did well.
Thanks for watching. I've gotten much better using the NoMar. I've cut the time probably in half if not more.
Your bead breaker is coming down at a back angle. The blade should be coming in at an inward angle towards the center of the wheel.
Makes sense R Sanchez. Next time I'll attempt a different angle.
Nice job - looked like it went pretty well. Next tire will be done in half the time!
I don't know about half the time but it went ok. I had set up notes for the 17 inch front wheel which was quite helpful.

Thanks for that. I'll check it out on my next tire changes coming up soon.
