No-Mar Drop Center tool & GS

onesaintsfan · 05-06-2013, 01:36 AM

I can never get these to work on the tubeless GS spoke wheels. Is it me or are they not designed for these kind of rims. Seems the thicker edge wont allow them to go on.

Hardest Tourance I have ever put on today. Any ideas on how to keep the wheel from turning in the clamps?

I'm not sure I am familiar with that tool, can you post a photo?

I bought these for doing heavy touring bike tires; they wound up being better for just about everything. Not cheap, but worth it, IMO.

This is what I have and combine them with a ratchet strap on the mag wheel spoke(s) and one of the three arms on the No-mar. Obviously the strap isn't going to help with spokes.

The real key to swapping tires I have found is warm tires! Heat them up in any way you can safely. Even Goldwing tires will go on easily after warming up in the sun.

It would appear the reason it does not work is there is no flat surface for the plunger to hit on the GS rim
Oh well, atleast they will work on the S3
