[QUOTE="pcarnut, post: 1251090, member: 21248"] I've had my NoMar about 5 years now and wish I'd bought one sooner. With five bikes in the stable now it's pretty much paid for itself. The hardest tires to mount so far have been the B'stones. They have a very stiff carcass and the last BT023 I mounted was an absolute bear to get on. Michelins and others have not really caused any issues. I just bought two sets of BT030s cause they were on sale, not looking forward to mounting the rear though. One of the biggest aids is giving yourself as much "slack" in the tire as possible by keeping the lower edge up in the groove that runs around the inside center of the rim. When I mount a stiff tire I stop every couple of inches and adjust the lower edge. Letting them sit in the sun for an hour ahead of time is also a good idea. I'm in Carlsbad, north of San Diego, if you want to come down next time I'm changing a tire, you are welcome to stop by. Might be a little while though, just refreshed the FJR with a PR4. [/QUOTE]
