Yes, I'm finally going to give it a shot…mike574;300571 wrote: You racing this year ?
I'm going to miss you too Judy, I'll definitely roll with you if we're out there at the same time. :agree:HondaGalToo;300595 wrote:
I use and highly recommend the No-Mar Tire Changer for home tire changes. You and your brother could go in on one together. Sometimes they run package deals.

I'd tried a cheaper changer, but didn't have the muscle to easily use it (ok, I worded that nicely...reality: cursing, tool throwing and bloodied knuckles. I found it a good home). The No-Mar works fantastic! Well worth the cost with the frequency of tire changing the both of you will be doing.motorkas;301027 wrote:

My goals for this season:
map out every track (roll off, braking, roll on, and turn in points)
Riding "relaxed" from session one every day
Getting more comfortable on the edge of the tracks so I can use more of the track in general
1:32 at NJMP
Learn how to change my tires
get more comfortable with shifting and rev matching on downshifts (and exploring more of the gear box in general)
start nibbling at a certain yellow R6
Safely turn 40 so I can contemplate racing in the 40+ group. . .
Bought this a few months back. Found it on craigslist. Snap On, made specifically for bike wheels. It's about 5 years old. Got it cheaper than I could buy a new No-Mar set up for.motorkas;301027 wrote: also going to be doing 20+. . .going to try to convince my brother to road trip with me to RA for the fundraiser, doing every NCBIKE, NJMP, SUMMIT day and the VIR N Monday's after NCBIKE. . .going to end the year at Barber and seriously thinking about a weekend road trip to NYST. . .

Is that pneumatic? That's the hot setup! I have seen used Coates for great prices, so good idea to look for them as well!Otto Man;301057 wrote: Bought this a few months back. Found it on craigslist.

Don't jump the gun there Judy, he's just trying to figure out to get the wheels off the bike :doh:HondaGalToo;301053 wrote: I use and highly recommend the No-Mar Tire Changer for home tire changes.

No-Mar also has a less expensive Cycle Hill model. If you go that route, or some other cheaper route, I still would at least purchase the No-Mar mount/demount bar.
The folks at No-Mar are great to deal with! They also have great instructional videos on their website, and they send an instructional CD with the unit.
If you have any questions, holler!
Sure do...free! Feel free to swing by my place any time on your way to/from the track It'll take longer to get to my house driving through the neighborhood than it would changing the tire itself.vinny337;301078 wrote: Do you have military discount?
