Hey Steve! I just received the Jr. Pro Ultimate package with the Rim clamps. Just need some advice from you….the bulk of the tires I change are Dunlop Tour Elite II's and Metzler's, 130X16X90, or 140X16X85. All on stock rims, some spoked and mostly cast mags. Do you think I will be faced with only using the spoon bars for mounting the new tires (like the Gold Wing video), or do you think I should be able to use the mount/demount bar? I did my first rear tire last night, and it was a struggle for sure (learning curve I guess). I tried with the m/d bar, but no way. At the time I had not cut any small square blocks from wood yet to use, but I have since cut some for use on my next tire change. By the way, they are all Harley's which I work on. I didn't see any videos for stock Harley rims. Yes I ended up using the rim clamps too. No way I could use the locking blocks for those wheels. Thanking you in advance for your help..

Dale, The old Elite 2 should go on with the Mount/ Demount bar as well as all other tires described except Goldwing E 3 on GL 1800 rear. Be sure you are using our lubes the way we show. The tools will not work correctly without lubing the tires and rims the way we show. If your "Handle" is not mounted on the M/D bar the way we show it. It will not work correctly. You will not be able to install the stiffer tires if you are trying to pull the bar while installing the tires. You must be "Pushing" it with your hip using the body positioning we show in our videos. Watch the location of the valve stem on tubes. See BMW F650 and dirtbike tire change videos. The tools will work exceptionally well using our techniques. It seems only people used to using other brand tools have troubles because they are used to doing it a different way (Slightly). I just changes a Suzuki Bergman Scooter tire yesterday. The old guy who brought it in was just struggling with it on his own. We threw it on a Classic model and breezed through it. 1 minute off and on. He recognized he was not lubing the rim and tire as we did, he was not pushing the bar as we did, The handle was not in the position as our was. He couldn't believe it went on so easily. He bought a Yellow thing tool to help keep the bead from creaping. He should have good success now. True story, yesterday in our showroom. We suggest watching the videos a few times. Watch them all. There are portions of all of the techniques that will apply in differerent situations. There really are not any tires that are troublesome if you understand the three or four techniques we describe in the videos. Harleys are usually the easiest. They almost always have deeper drop centers on the rims. Having the rim clamp set when dealing with them is optimal. Good luck. You can always call us if you are in the middle of something you are struggling with. We can coach you through it. Steve Nemish- No-Mar Tire Changers
