I was actually asking b/c I'm going to buy one of the No-Mar systems and was wondering if there would be much interest up here. I'm going to need a MINIMUM 4 of my own sets changed this year...so I figured I better man up and buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 the one thing i've been wondering lately...are there any type of balancing packs that can be put inside the tires? semi truck tires just have a pack of balancing beads dropped in and when the tire starts to spin the pack breaks open and all of the beads go to the light spot in the tire.other than that i change my own tires or buy adam a steak if i'm too lazy.

Unk Greg Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) I just go to the gas station in town. Pick out the tire I want from his rack leave the bike. Then I walk over to the VFW, have breakfast and come back and pay for tire and ride away. The old tire I drape over my shoulder and ride it back home. Or you could just give the guy two bucks and he'll get rid of it! Edited January 29, 2009 by littlecarbsbigsmiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both look similar quality but the floor height bead breaking on the Cycle Hill is a no go.... I need the waist high bead breaking so I can use a hitch mount if I take it to the track. Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgundy Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 adam and i do our own tires.. just matching up the line is almost a perfect balance! cheap and good eating! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzburgh Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Does riding on a road near Coshocton count? or how about riding with the Coshocton crew? Anyways I'm going to throw this out there as a cheaper alt.. I know of people who use this and say it is great after a few mods like putting some rubber on the rim/mounting points.. Granted they are prob not the best quality but for right at $100......Harbor freight sells a tire changer and motorcycle attachment for about $100 and you can usually find a coupon pretty easy for 20% off...http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=42927 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
