"And this one is just right" ~ Goldilocks
Considering a couple of different manual tire changers, as yet another change will be due soon (about every 3 months/4.5k miles). I've had two rims damaged by different shops and the best of them, another place, always leaves some smaller evidence of their work on the Roadster's rear rim. Cost is $55 and they can't even balance the rear because it's too big for their machine.
I already have a harbor freight type stand and an assortment of tire tools- best that also break the bead are Motion Pro Bead Pro irons. I can manage the front, but not the rear with what I have. I have a Marc Parnes balancer.
So, I've been looking (again) and thought I had it narrowed down to the NoMar vs. the MojoBar. I was about to get the MojoBar, as it has a smaller profile that I figure wouldn't require the tire to stretch quite as much around the rim and tool, then, someone mentioned the Max2h, which if it were secured to the ground or, better yet, at table height might (?) do the trick. It has a pretty large duckhead, so if my theory about the profile size is right might still make the MojoBar and my HF stand a better gamble. I'm interested to see what you guys think.
Here are two videos worth checking out being used by first-time users. In both cases securing the stand seems like it would make a world of difference.
This one is changing a Bridestone ExedraMax 200/60R-16
and this two part series. Hard time off, not too bad back on....
Thoughts? Does anyone have any of these?
