I will stick with my no mar ;) I also wonder if that would work with ST/touring type tires that are much harder compound that street/track tires

We have a local guy, Frank, that has put out some great videos.
Informative and walks you through step-by-step. It seems to me that by the time you wrestle with zip ties; getting them in place, and wrapping the tire, you could use Frank's method and be done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Pfp2Z9k0n0 |
Nice instructional. Positioning the tire for each step is key. Understanding the purpose of the rim recess is basic. When I was 16, I used to work at Ardmore Tire (Main Line outside of Philly). I did mostly car and truck tires, but you learn how to manipulate the donuts. If you know what you're doing, and you get lucky with fit, and you lube the shit out of everything, you can often even get tires on without any tools...pretty much just screw 'em on, as long as you have one knee holding the 6 O'clock of the bead in the recess.

I'm sorry but unless you're tracking your bike, how often are you changing your tires? Why not just pay to have this done?
