I don't see any improvements. All he has done is taken one end of the NoMar and one end from the Mojo bar and copied them into one bar.
I don't know if you read the information on my website or not but there are improvements to the bar that were made. If it was the same old thing I would have just went and purchased the mojo instead of making my own.
1. On mine there are two bolts that hold the mount uhmw in place instead of one. I had a guy contact me recently from the Aprilia forum that has a mojo-lever. His nylon mount end piece has spun on him rendering the tool pretty much useless. Mine won't spin. However the extra bolt does makes it harder to manufacture since I have to drill and tap, but it makes it much more reliable. Note that the mojo is almost an exact copy of the wikco bar to the tee except for where the mount end plastic is secured. The wikco bar uses one bolt at the opposite side of the of the part that contacts the rim. The wikco mount plastic end would not last long before it started spinning on you which is why they offer repair kits. The mojo is mounted more securely then the wikco but apparently not enough. Neither wikco or mojo came up with this mount end because I found some older designs that had the same mount tip only without the plastic protection. Apparently this is an old proven design.
2. Weight! My bar weighs 4lbs 9oz. The mojo and wikco bars are made from either 3/4" or 1" solid stock and weigh almost 3 times as much as my bar. The no-mar bar is close to the same weight as mine. I really did NOT want a tire tool that was that heavy. A heavier bar makes it that much easier to damage your rim while your using it.
3. My demount tips are made of delrin which is a tougher material then nylon and uhmw. The no-mar tips are made of uhmw and the mojo are made of nylon. My tips are a similar in design to the no-mar but they are different. There is a .25" grade 8 bolt that runs the whole length of my tip and I know it doesn't on the no-mar. There is also more material left on my tips on the narrowest part by about 35 thousands which adds to the strength of the tip.
The video was taped at the house of a guy who owns a second generation no-mar. The second generation no-mars have an extra handle close to the mount end. He wanted to see my mount end work and compare it to his no-mar. He preferred my mount end to his after it was all said and done. My first customer owned a first generation no-mar (without the extra handle) and hated it. He sold it after he purchased mine. His main complaint was the tool wanted to pop out during the last 10% to 20% of the mount procedure. This guy does a lot of track days so he's continually changing tires. Note that most track tires have a thicker side wall and are noticeably more difficult to mount. The tires in the video were just standard sport bike tires off of a Suzuki SV1000.
