I just ordered a few more items from them.

A "yellow thing" tool a must have item I am told.

Weight scapper, suppose to ease removal of stuck on weights with no scratching.

A box of black wheel weights. The machine came with a box of silver weighs but I prefer black on my street bike wheels. I will use the silver on my trackbike.

Again no shipping on this order, can't beat that.

I am no expert in tire mounting but I do always tape over the stick on weights on my track bike. As for my streetbikes I tape over the B-King weights because it has spun the tire on the rim before so throwing a weight is certainly possible on it. As for my Bandit, nope just stick them on. I have spoke clamp weights on the motard but will be switching to stick on rim weights. The spoke clamp weight suck on the tard. Rear wheel will break them loose when the wheel hits from doing stoppies. I had resort to taping over them.

on a street bike I just use 3M adhesion promoter on a really clean wheel, but a lot of tracks require weights to be taped for good reason.

When I've had to use the hitch mounted No-Mar I've jacked the receiver up just an inch or two and threw a stack of boards underneath. This gives a much more solid platform to work on.

Thumbs up Yes to No Mar

No Mar customer service is great. Saw them at V.I.R. once, told them I had one. They gave me 5 new pry bar tips and pry bar handle, no charge. Way cool!

the no mar is great. i've got one and sometimes bring it to the track for multiple day events. imo the key is lots of lube.

I got around to using the tire changer for the 1st time this weekend. I love it! Even my litlle butt can change a tire by himself. Front was super easy, rear was a little tougher. I watched the videos a few times and it all made more sense. It is all about technique and using plenty of lube paste on the tire. Race tires are usually tougher to mount than street tires so if I can mount race tires I feel very confident on my street tires. The receive hitch mount worked very good, love that feature. The yellow thing tool is a must have item on a rear tire. Their balancer works nice. Money well spent

True.

I think some of the low profile, sport touring tires are the toughest. Like a Metzeler Z6. That tire gave us fits even with the No-Mar. In contrast we never used anything but lube to mount Pilot Powers. I mean nothing. No machine or irons, just our hands.
