Description of 🚴 Dynaplug Racer Bike Tire Repair Tool

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT: The double-ended racer holds two preloaded insertion tubes; one with a standard soft nose plug for standard holes and one with an extra-large Megaplug for fixing more serious tire damage. USE: Ideal for racing when you need to fill a puncture to stay in the race. Plugs a hole in a tubeless tire so you're not stuck with a flat. INCLUDED: Kit includes the tool itself with both standard and megaplug stainless steel insertion tubes, 2 x Megaplugs and 3 x soft nose standard plugs. Each is covered by a waterproof CNC'd cap, so the plugs are kept ready to go at a moment's notice, even after being strapped to your bike for months. SPEC'S: VERY lightweight, less than 4 ounces! Only 3.75" long and less than a 1/2" in diameter. This tool fits anywhere!. COMPANY INFO: Dynaplug is a US company based in Chico, California. Made with pride in the USA with patented utility systems and warrantied for life under normal usage.

AN ABSOLUTE ESSENTIAL FOR TUBELESS

Field tested. Driver approved! I thought I'd wait until I'd used it before writing this review, although I hoped I didn't have to. However, I was secretly hoping to find an apartment to try on - I was curious if it would live up to the hype and the countless 5-star reviews. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL PEOPLE.

Quick and convenient

Works. Used it on a Gravel King 38mm slick. The hole was hard to see under the bubbling sealant, but it looks like it was formed out of a piece of glass and the sealant couldn't handle the size of the hole. I used a smaller tapered fork; Took two tries because I didn't insert the plug deep enough the first time (manual says you have to insert all the way, so user error).

If it had worked better, I would have been suspected of witchcraft.

TL;DR This is an essential tool for holes too large to deal with sealant alone. It's easier than installing a car plug and not a bad price for the convenience this product offers.

It's not ideal for cycling and I will change tubes every week or two even though I have the best tires I can afford. Some time ago, in a flash of inspiration, I…
