I love Dyna Plug! I first found them when looking for motorcycle tire repair and have one of their kits on my motorcycle. Since then, I have a kit always with my bicycle and in my truck. They're a no fuss solution for tire repair. I've repaired about 4 tires on my motorcycle from nails and one on my gravel bike that required 3 plugs to repair. I think one or two of the MTB plugs would've done the job had they been available at the time.
what kind of motorcycle did you fix up? i had a puncture on my sports bike and discovered my tire was so thin even if i patched it up with my tool kit it was too dangerous to even drive home.
I'm new to tubeless tires and gravel and I'm planning to do the TransVA bikepacking grand depart short course in one week. I picked up my new bike, Salsa Warbird, a week ago and I panicked because I had no tire repair solution and bought the Dynapro Racer as I was leaving my LBS. I didn't even look at the price until I got home and I was shocked at how expensive this thing was. Thanks for the good review and letting me know why I paid a premium price. I'll be carrying gear for three to four days so it's nice to save on the weight, but I've used bacon strips on my car with success and probably would have gone with a much cheaper solution had I known what I was doing. Thanks for the to the point informative video. I hope to post a video of my adventure and new bike soon. Keep up the good work!
i started road cycling little over a year ago. i have never been successful with bacon strips, i dont run an extremely high tire pressure, but when i plug a hole with a bacon strip they always shoot out and i've always ended up just getting another tire. gonna try this. hopefully i will have a better time fixing my tires 😅
I have had good experiences with bacon strips. I have not had good experiences with Stan's Darts. I now have Dynaplugs and they are the best, if most expensive system in my experience.
Good tip to test at home, any type of tire plug system. I do think that Dynaplug is a step above the bacon 🥓 strips and it’s a great American made product. I wouldn’t be concerned with the tip in wheel either, it’s ok to rattle around and won’t effect anything. My question is what do you do with the excess plug, protruding from the tire after you plug it? I’ve seen one of the Dynaplug kit that comes with a tiny blade, is that necessary?
I think the problem with stans darts is the dart is treated to 'react' with stans sealant and help make the seal. how well it would work with other sealants is an unknown. At least the dynaplugs work with anything.
Dynaplug AIR means you don’t have to carry the flexible hose for inflation through the valve. If you want the mega attachment it can be used with the AIR system too (purchased separately). For triathlon disc wheels this is best option (inflating through the puncture) bc you can’t use the flexible hose on the disc wheel valve access…. So just buy the AIR kit and simply have a mega attachment in your pouch. Problem solved… much better than the race kit imo which actually forces you to carry more
I’ve done a review on the air , I see the advantage you mentioned for sure with your tt setup. I carry the hose incase I have a slow leak and just need to add air , if the gash is large and takes longer to seal down the road, so I don’t need to bring a co2 head
Which is better - this Racer or the Air? Better as in easiest to use I mean. And is it impossible to push those large rounded plugs through a hole? Certainly looks difficult
Love the idea just wish the road tip was a little less pointy. My thought is it might puncture the rim tape if ridding low pressure and you go over some rough stuff. I'm probably just paranoid.
Phillip Scearce it lives there , I’ve had one in my tire for few hundred miles no issue, when I redo sealant I may pull it out and patch from the inside
Will this pop a tube of you would have to use one as a last resort? Looks like the sharp plug stays inside... Thanks for the video man. Always appreciated
Kim Krimson honestly never thought about that! I doubt the fatter plug would, but if I did that I would probably pull the road plug out before using a tube to be dafe
hello sir can you plug this into a tubeless "road" tire when stranded on the road if the sealant can seal a hole larger than 4 mm? and i would carry a C02 and this....my tire size is 28 road tire please let me know
@@LockedinCycling so it is easy to plug if stranded and selant cant seal right? can you also plug a CUT my issues is not holes from nails its nasty cuts from glass...most of the time the sealant can deal with nails...its CUTS let me know!
@@annukun7318 if you have a long cut you can just use the wide plug and skinny plug, look up my day two video bikepacking from San Francisco to la video series. I have a bad cut that I plug that way so u can see it in action
All your clips showing the repair doesn't actually show how you cut the head of the plug. Looks like there's nothing including for that. That means you need to bring an additional tool which is a big issue in my opinion for racing, as you want to fix it as quickly as possible. The Dynaplug Micro on the other end has a small blade included.
I actually leave the tail and never had an issue, I did a 505 mile bike packing trip and dynapluged it on day two and it lasted the rest of the way leaving the end.

Check out my San Fran to la bikepacking trip video I show off us using it and how it saved our trip

@@frederik4515 yea this has been full proof for me
Can the tip not damage the rim should you go over an object and the tyre compresses to the point that the inserted tip makes contact with the rim?
I haven’t had that issue I believe it’s soft brass so it wouldn’t damage it
Exactly what I was thinking. Not worth taking the chance and damaging the rim tape or even worse the actual rim.
I have had good experiences with bacon strips. I have not had good experiences with Stan's Darts. I now have Dynaplugs and they are the best, if most expensive system in my experience.

Ride4life Fit4life i just have smashed it down a bit and road off without issue
Locked In I love their Dynaplug kits, so many choices. Great website too that has a comedy edge. I want the Survival container lol
hheyyy I just got into tubeless , my one fear is there dynaplug messing up the rim tape . is that a concern for you ever if so why or why not ?
Would love to see a comparison between Dyna Plug and Stans No Tubes Darts.
Charley Daly yea I’m interested In those as well
I think the problem with stans darts is the dart is treated to 'react' with stans sealant and help make the seal. how well it would work with other sealants is an unknown. At least the dynaplugs work with anything.
@@pc750-V4 it works with all latex based sealents. (stans, orange...) Thats my standpoint.
I’m concerned that the dyna plug would damage my carbon rims if the wheel bottomed out? Wats your thoughts
Great video
Anyone had success with Dynaplugs on tubeless fat bike tires???
Does it leave the metal pointy head inside the tyre after the repair?
Dynaplug AIR means you don’t have to carry the flexible hose for inflation through the valve. If you want the mega attachment it can be used with the AIR system too (purchased separately).

Nice video locked in Nice little device may have to look into that .
Bob Watson thanks! I have a link to it in the description and I have a review of the other unit they make the air
So the metal tip stays in the tire?
Yes
Great product thanks for reviewing!
Your welcome!
Thanks for the review!
So once it's "plugged" .. do you need to cut off the excess? Or safe to leave it on "asis"?
I just ride it , I know some people cut it off
Which is better - this Racer or the Air? Better as in easiest to use I mean. And is it impossible to push those large rounded plugs through a hole? Certainly looks difficult
if you have a co2 pump head already get the racer

Tim Tours Tempe totally understand , had same concern, but haven’t had any issues like that so far when I’ve used it recently on my last century ride
Email sales@dynaplug.com And I’ll send you the Tips sheet that shares some good info about how the tool works and doesn’t injure anything. 😉
Tubeless newb here but what happens to the tip? Is it left inside? If so, I guess this is just a temp to get you back, but not a permanent patch...?
Phillip Scearce it lives there , I’ve had one in my tire for few hundred miles no issue, when I redo sealant I may pull it out and patch from the inside
Great review!! Thanks for the info
I remember when this channel was Mikes Bikes!
What is the length of the device?
3.75 inches

Much better than bacon strip's. Don't need expensive Dyna one, just take some spares

The fatter 'mega plug' is not specifically a mountain bike plug as you say - It's just for larger holes.
Totally agree I have used them on my road tire
i liked the video, but your audio quality is not the best...
