Just wanted to let anyone who may have been considering a Cycle Hill (made by No Mar) Tire Changing machine know the money is well worth it. I picked one up this week, arrived on my door step the very next day. Got it installed in the garage and did 1 dismount and 2 mounts in about 20 minutes last night. I ordered the yellow thing which makes it super easy to keep the bead down, lube the tire and rim up real good with their included vegetable-based product and the tires give very little resistance to going on. So anyone thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these and saving over $200 over the cost of a NoMar - do it! :thumbsup:

Ummm....it's basically a No Mar product, almost identical to their $600 changer. Made by them, just sold under a different name. I was told they ship every day if ordered before 1pm CST (if I remember correctly). Mine arrived on Tuesday, ordered Monday. :thumbsup: Just took me a couple days before I got around to putting it together and trying it out. I have enough friends that ride and pay the dealers $40/shoe to do theirs that it will quickly pay for itself not to mention no more damaged rims.

I have a No-Mar, and after looking at this, this is a very good choice for people to buy.
I works on the same princable as the No-Mar with out the cost!

I do way too many tires and i think mine will hold up better!
I've done over a hundred sets of tires with mine! :thumbsup:

Warm up the tires?? No need, just lube them good with the included stuff they sent and they slipped right over the lip of the wheel! I do have a heated garage but the tire was sitting in my other garage which I was not heating for the past month just prior to installing.

Did you also get the balancer?
Negative, I use dyna beads and recycle them from my old tires into the new ones - never paid for a balance job since the first 3 oz of them I purchased. :laugh:

I'd be very shocked if this sucker ever broke, it's built like a brickhouse. The few wearing parts are easily replaced and aren't much different from the regular No Mar (tips and wheel rollers). Everything else is solid steel and they did a quality job on the welding and finish of the changer. I looked at the reg. No Mar last year but for the 20 or so changes I'll do in each year for myself and friends I didn't see any sense in buying the full monte. :laugh: I'll follow up in a year or so and see how she's holding up but I don't see any weak points in the design.
