Terry, another friend and myself went together and bought a No Mar tire changer over 6 years ago. I do not remember the specific model we bought but back then it was around $750. Between the three of us, all with multiple bikes, it paid for itself in 12-18 months.
The unit itself along with the tools used in the process have all held up well. We had to replace two of the hardened plastic tips (extra tips came with it) used in the process of removing the tires from the rims due to the tips bending. Not too bad considering we have probably changed 75 to 100 tires with the machine.
We also have some parts from Mark Parnes. The adapter for the rear wheel from Mark Parnes is a must have. We have one for the R1200s and one for the K1600s.
