    For a few dollars more you can get the nomar tire changer and you dont have to worry about scratching your wheels. From what i have seen its easier to use and very portable. You can get the hitch mount and take it anywhere with you as well. http://www.nomartirechanger.com/

    Nomar is alot more than a "few dollars more" dude. For someone on a budget this is a good deal.

    Both Mojo bar and Mojo blocks have nylon tips so you have the same probability of scratching your wheels as with no-mar.

    $845 and $1300 FOR THE PRO MODEL?? I can get anyone a Pneumatic one with a Bead Breaker for $895 plus shipping...The heck with the Manual ones..Good for saving weight on trips but other than that I couldnt justify that cost to still sweat, Push, Use Rim savers Ect when you can have a machine do it all scratch free... Just add a 5 Gallon Air Compressor and Power and your good. $250 is a fair price for this posted..GLWTS!!

    I wont debate it just offering options. The Cycle Hill version is $295 and the classic is $495. I wouldnt buy the $800 dollar version either i dont need it nor is it in the budget. Take a look at the vids on the website. I have had my new wheels scratched badly by the quick automatic tire changers so thats why i went with nomar and its portable. I may bring it to the track (June or August) to show how easily and quickly the tire can be changed with it . But hey different strokes for different folks.

    I dont know anything about the Mojo brand but the Nomar brand has Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHM) Polyethylene tips and blocks its on the first page of their website. If i was going to spend 260 on a changer i would buy the one for 295 that will not scratch my wheels, portable, made in the USA and easy to use. But hey what ever works right. :cheers:

    No Problem..... The Automatic ones have Derlin inserts in the Jaws.... If your rims were scratched then the problem was definietly with the operator... :thumb: Restocking on stones... :jester:

    What if I want a different pallet :D?

    GLWS! I bolted mine to the floor.

    This set up works and works well w/ the upgrades on it.

    Well for what you are running the Cycle Hill or the classic is all you need. Anything bigger is just over kill. And talk to me about how easy it is after you pinch a finger in that pneumatic changer:lmao:

    Honestly though, for portability and ease of use you cannot beat a No-Mar and I am not saying that because I worked for them for two years but because I have been using a No-Mar for the past 10 years. Heck, I put my FIRST replacement tip ( came with 3 ) for the mount demount bar last year so 9 years of TROUBLE FREE installs and $1000's of dollars saved is pretty darn good in my book. I guarantee you will not get a warranty on that pneumatic changer like you will on a No-Mar and the only people you are supporting buying that is CHINA not an American worker like with a No-Mar.

    Okay I am just jealous cause my buddy has a pneumatic :thumb:

    Haven't pinched anything in 10 years of use.. American made? Where is your Harley? I am not bashing NOMAR by any means..I just prefer using pedals and not my back..

    Hey my apologies my friend i misunderstood your post. Didn’t realize you were selling your own, I wouldnt have have posted. I thought you were either informing us of a deal/asking for thoughts on if you should get it. Once again my misunderstanding. :doh:

    That's why I said I am jealous my friend. While I have saved a lot of money with my No-Mar I would have much rather been doing it the less physical way. When I bought mine you could not get a pneumatic changer for as cheap as you can today.

    I have a problem...I'll admit it. I've got the same stand as the OP with the no mar mount / demount bar. You can change some tires with it for sure.
