Dynaplug tubeless tire repair tool

In essence, Dynaplug is designed to be a quick and easy puncture repair tool for tubeless tires. The tube is preloaded with a repair plug where it sits in place, ready for action. The repair plugs are each made of a proprietary rubber-impregnated cord mounted to a pointed, non-abbrasive brass tip. This silver Dynaplug Micro Pro tool rattled around my frame bag and backpack for months prior to our trip in the Republic of Georgia.

Fortunately I was unlucky enough to be able to try it, three times…. However, according to Dynaplug, if the brass tip breaks free from the plug, there is nothing to worry about. Based on centrifugal testing they found that the tip will eventually disintegrate, without causing further issues.

This never happened during our testing period, but it seems like it having the brass piece bouncing around inside the tire could be rather annoying if it did occur. At any rate, function is more important than form. Each brass-tipped plug is designed to offer a permanent fix for punctures up to 4.

In the event of an emergency, Dynaplug states you can use up to four plugs at once for larger tears, although they also mention that a proper repair should be made once available. The Dynaplug comes in several different configurations. The two we checked out are the most popular, the lozenge-shaped Dynaplug Micro Pro and Dynaplug Pill. Both are housed within the same machined aluminum capsule.

The two halves thread together and are sealed by an O-ring. The tool itself, albeit small, seems rather excessive based on its contents. The honeycomb of cavities inside the casing store an assortment of odd accessories and pointy brass-tipped plugs. Both the Micro Pro tool and Pill contain two pointed tip tire repair plugs within two insertion tubes, one micro knife, one air stopper.

The tool also comes with three additional plugs and one pipe cleaner. First off, I never used the ultrasharp awl-like air stopper or the pipe cleaner. The Micro Pro tool has the style of a small capsule to keep it very small, and still all of the accessories are stored neatly inside and weighs only 1. With this tool, there are five repair plugs along with two insertion tubes, an air stopper and a micro knife.

Extra insertion tubes, micro knife and air stopper are available directly from Dynaplug. Tire repair plugs come in packs of 5. This tool is easy-to-use, neat and fast. Getting Pregnant.

So far, no damage to the sealing tape, but it could be a concern. If there is juice in the tire, it will seal small holes in the tape in the same manner that a product like Stan's will seal the seam in a pinned and pressed rim joint. I think Pinkbike's plugging of this product has sealed the deal for me. BoneDog Dec 10, at Why not just go to crappy tire and use the automotive tire repair kit, or come up with something similar where its only the plug that remains in the tire afterwards. The stud remaining in the tire is stupid!

I agree, I use the CT kits for my repairs, but I tie the end in a knot so and cover it in glue so that it doesn't get pushed out by the air pressure. This kit is perfect for the nerd who cant repair a flat quickly though.

TheR Dec 10, at YoKev Dec 10, at Plus, my kit doesn't take up any more room than a couple credit cards stacked on one-another, so carrying it in addition to a tube doesn't call for creative packing of my hydro-pack. WasatchEnduro Dec 10, at Yes Kev Wait, is that metal spike left in tire after repair? We have able to buy similar tools for car tires, but for them the rope piece have no metal at the end and it is plugged like V and cut off.

Isn't it possible to damage rim after riding with that metal piece in tire with low pressure? ShredThis Dec 10, at It's cheaper to get some tubes! If you can carry an extra If an extra weight of the tube kills your back, you shouldn't be riding in the first place. Looks like toys you buy in a sexshop. MDRipper Dec 10, at That second pic just looks like a bunch of prison shanks that prison guards found on an episode of "locked up".

Drilling holes isn't exactly a good simulation of how most flats occur. I have this kit and for pinch flats it hasn't worked very well. The best outcome I've had is that the tire kept leaking slower and I was able to limp it back to the car.

Sshredder Dec 11, at Is this a trail fix? Would a 5 dollar tube fix the problem? Can you glue a piece of tube inside a tubless tire to boot patch the big hole?

I have never used tubeless systems so im just curious. RichardCunningham Mod Dec 14, at I cannot believe there are so many fools on here complaining about rim damage due to low pressure. Someone who hates the haters as much as I do!!!! Yeah, get a room bum boys!!!!!!

Re-utilize the container for a little Bob Marley Burrito. Enduro, schmenduro. If you flat, most of us are done anyhow. I'll keep carrying my YesTubes solution. Well, that would keep you from having to use a pack If you're on the trail, sure this is a great option but only if you have the time I. However, a tire boot is the better solution. Seems like touring would be a great time to have this tool. I dig it. I've done it, been using them for about five years now, tie a knot on the end that's going on the inside, back it up with a patch, and go shred.

MrBawbag Dec 10, at Love this product, also would this not save the tyre and allow you to continue using it as tubeless instead of otherwise Great stuff. Has anyone found a way to fix those bloody cuts on Schwalbe lightweight casings near the bead, just under the edge of the rim. It's a tubeless pinch flat. I experimented with various patches from the inside yet nothing works in a reliable manner, cut is too close to the bead.

As soon as I pump the tyre around 30psi, the sealant stops to cope with air running out. I have a 2 rides old Hans Dampf waiting for an answer to your question OllyHodgson Dec 10, at I've done the same thing to Nobby Nics and High Rollers in the past.

I was able to fix them up with a weldtite tubeless bung - www. Re-seating the tyre is a little bit tricky: You need to make sure the excess bung that sticks out of the tyre sits just above the edge of the rim. Other than that, it seems to last forever!

Spindelatron Dec 10, at For that I usually Relegate it to a rear tire training rides and run a tube in it. The tread will be bald soon Have you tried any tubeless repair plugs, not patches, for those cuts? I had a similar problem with a Hans Dampf and a Trail King. I tried small patches with rubber cement on the inside; they held air better than without the patches.

I've been using both tires without issue since this June. Hope that helps. Catch22 Dec 10, at I've had a lot of luck with the combo of a makeshift boot and Gorilla Glue. For most sidewall cuts, I take the tire off, clean the affected area well with something like isopropyl alcohol to remove sealant residue, and then apply a standard vulcanized patch to the inside of the tire. Once that is well dried I'll put a really thin layer of Gorilla Glue, let dry, then another layer.

I've saved probably 4 tires in the past two years going this route. Recently I got one of the dreaded tubeless pinch flat cuts on the first ride on a new tire and thought the tire was probably done but wasn't willing to throw in the towel right away. For this one, I cleaned the tire well, then spread a thin layer of Gorilla Glue on the inside of the cut, and applied a thin cut of fabric over the top.

Once dry, I layered more Gorilla Glue over the fabric on the inside and also put a really thin layer of glue on the outside of the cut as well. I was really careful about trying to keep any buildup on the lip of the bead hoping it wouldn't interfere with remounting the tire or lead to a blowoff.

That tire has been up front since August including two trips to Moab and a couple more to Grand Junction with no issues since.

Not one of those things that I can guarantee will work for you but it's worked out well for me and I think it's worth a shot if you want to try to save a tire.
