I learned using a 15" junk auto rim 25+yrs ago. A few years ago I decided it was time to 'upgrade'. Purchased the HF setup which of course is garbage but works ok with Mojolever and Mojo blocks. Did a few more upgrades to the HF changer and used it for a couple doz tire changes. Ended up going back to my basic steel rim. Last year I decided to try upgrading again and got the No-Mar setup. Its a nice changer and while the technique is a little different it worked pretty good right out of the box. A few weekends ago a buddy came over to change his tires and I needed new tires on my BMW, KLR and Tenere. He pulled up while I was swapping the BMW tires. His first question was, "don't you have the new NoMar changer?" Doh! I was using my steel rim....its just what I like using and frankly its as fast/easy as any tire changer (short of a fully mechanized changer) I've ever used. 10-15 min...done. If you are struggling changing tires you are using the wrong technique. Tire changing is 80% technique, 15% the right tools and 5% effort.
