Or should I say the ex-wife that owed me money for taxes bought this.

Expected delivery is the week after Easter. Hoping to help out friends, not start a business and potentially get screwed over by people I don't know. And yes, I got the right balancer cones for SSSA bikes too.

You are about to make a whole lot of new friends...

Very cool! Prepare to be bought a lot of beer...

Well, we might not go THAT far...

woo i just spent 40 bucks getting the front tire mounted

[Currently]

Kudos to the Nomar ... I hope in the future I can afford one.

Been changing my tires for the last couple of years now with tire spoons, rim protectors and Pledge. I do have a Mark Parnes balancer. Paid itself off with the first tire change.

I give all my new friends HUGS..... :Teehee:

Those are one of the nicer manual tire changers on the market. Real good company to deal with also.

[Uncle Snake]

Will you accept "contributions" for your services?

[MotoFreak]

Dude...Sweet!

[highsider]

Have I ever told you how much I really, really appreciate you?

Speaking of which, I need to come visit you soon.

Guess the ex isn't so bad after all eh?
Err...does she know she bought this?

[senecak19]

Congrats on a good purchase. I've used the Nomar setup several times. Its good stuff!

[jcbell1007]

so... I'll give more details to all you guys at bike night.

but... beer would be OK sometimes, hugs definitely are not my thing, contributions to cover costs of weights/the equipment would be the best thing.

the ex doesn't know she bought this because she really didn't. long convoluted story but her taxes were messed up, so i filed jointly with her to help her out. instead of owing the government money for taxes, she just owes me instead. This was the first chunk of the payback that I got.

Umm... When do you take delivery? :

[markbvt]

hugs definitely are not my thing

Oh come on, how can you disappoint poor Parker like that...

Umm... When do you take delivery? :

spoke with No-Mar today. Great customer service BTW. It on the truck, shipping out this afternoon. Estimated 3-4 days till deliver so maybe by the end of the week, or early next week.

[Doc]

Cool... I have a couple rims and tires to practice on. I will bring Beer and Hawk wrenching abilities... oh and my/your trailer.

[jcbell1007]

Picked it up yesterday and got it all assembled. I'm almost ready to start changing tires, I just need to bolt it to the floor.

I tried changing a tire last night without it being bolted to anything, twas not easy but I got it done. Haven't broke out the balancer yet, but thats easier than changing the tire. Let me know anyone needs something switched over.

I bought a couple of years ago, works great, no complaints at all!

How is it as far as wheel scratches? I'm thinking it's gonna be a good investment for me, but I don't want my wheels scratched up (I know, anal, but what can i say) and my dealer does a great job of not scratching them

[FTMS]

The rim clamps are plastic on them. Plus you can buy rim protectors also that you can put on the rim also. I find with the manual changers you are less like to damage the rim because you have more control over what you are doing. I think that the bead breaker on those are good enough to do most ATV tires also.

I think it's actually a lot harder to scratch a wheel on a manual machine because you're acutely aware of how much force is being applied. If you use good technique and keep sand, etc out of the cam blocks it shouldn't scratch anything...

Thanks for the tips Tricky and FTMS I just ordered one, and no, I don't want any more friends
