Hi there Daniel,
Go to the No-Mar web site and watch the video....and then go here
http://www.tirestripper.com/ and watch it.
I think the choice will be very obvious. I have used both, and to me the Tire Stripper is simpler and easier to use. Note on each where the bead is broken from on the machine and also the difference in the mount/de-mount bar. AND LESS EXPENSIVE TO PURCHASE!
That was the front tire I was changing, it wasn't too hard to do, BUT the rear wing and and valk tire is a totally different story. The guy at Tire Stripper says he will never complain about changing a sport tire again after having changed a rear wing tire. I know you are darkside, so it would also be a bit easier that a wing tire. Until recently the guy at Tire Stripper had never changed a wing tire, another friend of mine sent him a spare wheel and tire to see if he could, and told him if he could do it he would buy his machine (this friend of mine already owned a No-Mar). So now he has both. He will make you a good deal on his No-Mar. He has the floor mount, not the hitch mount like I was using.
In the Tire Stripper video he uses a ratchet strap to pinch the tire so the bead will fall into the wheel drop zone, I found that a clamp like a C clamp or wood clamp works easier.
Let me know what you think after watching the video's.
