tire mounting bars?

[Brian]

Okay guys,

Between the three bars: No Mar, no-scuff or the Mojolever is there a real winner here or is it just personal preference. The HF m/c tire changing attachment arrived so now I know what mojo block type to order. The jury is still out on whose mounting bar to order. On the video for the no-scuff tool he mentions Valkyrie and GW rear tires being harder and I see this trending on other blogs. This is the reason for my question on which one our handles our rims better.

FYI, I am currently a darksider.

Thanks in advance for your personal experiences.

Those tools are like a seat, owners preference.

The guys at No-Mar don't have a problem mounting my tires using their tools.  From what I can see...the trick is a long enough tool to get the necessary leverage and plenty of lube (HA...that is what she said!!! ...sorry...couldn't resist...).  I am lucky enough to have one of the No-Mar offices in town...and their prices for tire changes are cheaper than going to the dealer...and they don't give me crap about my rear tire (CT).  I have tried doing the install both by hand...and with a HF tire changer and I am ok with paying No-Mar to mount my tires.

I got the No Mar levers just for the rear rims on on the Valk and my Wings...watched their videos which helped out to see technique.

Now I just have to wait till one needs changing again!

I've used the MojoLever and the No Scuff. Both work very well.
The No Scuff "seems" sturdier but this is very subjective.
I have not used the No Mar but have seen demos at Americade. It also performs very well.

IMHO you can't go wrong with any of these three. Good luck!

I appreciate all your answers. Dealer here has now gone up to $20 to mount a new tire and now they refuse to mount a C/T so with this latest info I am going to be 100% on my own. Not too mention the kid in the shop scratched and dented the rim slightly. Hell I can do that on my own and stay right here at home.

Local independent guy bumped his prices up to 40 bucks per tire/wheel off the bike, if you buy the tire elsewhere (other than him).  Ouch.  Fortunately a dealership further down does it for 25 per tire/wheel.  As for CT mounting, you should be able to mount one with 2 or three tire irons, and either balance it yourself using beads or ride on.  The sidewall on a CT is larger and more flexible.  You will surprise yourself.

Brian, I just took off and mounted a Dunlop E3 today using my brand new mojo lever. It was a lot easier than the HF thingy.  Only my second tire so I learned a bit and next time should be even easier. Haven't tried the others but can recommend the mojo.
