What people don't realise with tubeless is that it's not like they don't get any punctures. They get them. However the sealant or plug is allowing them to still ride. And they ride on basically what is damaged tires.
I like this perspective!
Had to use my plugs twice they are amazing
Excellent review, I have same tire and DynaPlug, and have gotten same results
George you might like the sharp point plug. I’ve been using that with great success on smaller holes that the sealant still can’t seal. Just have to make sure to inject the plug on an angle to not hit the tubeless rim tape . Great video and demonstration going to 100psi on the plug!
I swear watching this cursed my ride today 🤣. I just got back from my ride and for the 2nd time in 3 rides I got home with sealant all over my bike. This was my second ride on these GO5k STR. I tried to plug it with the Dynaplug when it was in my stand and it kind of worked. I also did not cut it and there was a definite bulge in the area and it was still oozing sealant when it would get "tugged" by the road. In the Silca sealants defense I only lost 4 PSI but there was a lot out so I decided to try to plug it and now just going to call it and took the tire off and will patch it. As always really appreciate the content
Hi George.. the beard is looking good :)
Couple of things.. the blunt plug is for large holes.. and worked well on a sidewall puncture I had a while back.
I had a similar problem with a very small hole .. with trying to get the small brass dart to insert. Pinching the area with one hand and inserting with the other hand seemed to work pretty good.
But youd think a tiny hole would seal.. I think pressures are just too high with road tires.. maybe with 30mm and above. it seems 28mm and below, a plug is about the only thing that will seal a leak.
Yes 25mm at 75 psi that tiny hole didn’t seal. I’m riding 28’s at 70 psi with tubes
Last time I replaced a tubeless tire due to wear I found it had six punctures I had not noticed along with the two I had dynaplugged. (38C at 50PSI)
38 at 50 psi is great for tubeless
Yesterday a mountain biker told me they add glitter with their sealant lol. Yes, glitter. It helps clump up in the hole. Man, I gotta say.. thats good thinking. Have not seen this in action, but the rider said the combo works really well
Yep I tried glitter about 7 years ago. It just made a pink mess everywhere 😂
I think Schwalbe's sealant has glitter-type plastic in it.
milKit is the best sealant I've used (I rated Silca as very poor, at least for a road tire). The main issue I've found is the higher pressures for road (+40psi or so) and drying out. When Silca dries out, those fibres seem to lodge in the tacky mess left inside of the tire and don't seem to 're-fresh'. milKit's fibres, on the other hand, are smaller and therefore lighter and get suspended in the sealant and combine that with the synthetic latex blend you have a sealant that works and doesn't dry out. I add air maybe once every 2 weeks or so (the non-drying blend just keeps the bead moist and sealed) and if I get a hole, I just pull the part of the tire away from the rim and add a repair patch on the inside!
This is not the first time people have fallen in love with a really bad idea (tubeless), only worse idea would be putting glitter in your sealant.
Yep glitter was a fad for a while 😂
I remember the times when all those guys riding MTBs (agricultural engines) where explaining to me how superior 26'' inch tires are for a grown man to ride. What happened to that? They sounded exactly the same way as all those rain-man sound now (disc brake pushers).
Yep dynaplug does the job. Tried PRO BIKE TOOL Tubeless Bike Tire Repair Kit about a year ago and it was a fail. Really hard to figure why the sealant at times does not seal small holes. Wonder if has to do with the type of cut
The type of cut will determine the success of any and all these repair kits. Sidewall cuts are the most difficult to mend out in the field or at home
You can't count on sealant alone but if you carry plugs you should be okay except for big gashes. Typically, when I take my tubeless tires off after a few thousand miles I find wires and holes that have been sealed without me even noticing. I did have a problem with Stan's darts going too far into the tire, right through, so I cut the insertion tool shorter and that worked. Stan's go in easier but again can punch all the way through past the end of the ribbons.
Thank You Robert.
It works perfectly except when it doesn't isn't the way I like it.
@@rosomak8244 you sound like Yogi Berra 😂
You need Orange seal or a few others or the holes don't seal unless you have 30 psi or lower. Personally I can't be bothered with tubeless too much hassle for few gains, but if you've got a reliable setup that doesn't cost you a fortune it can be worth it. Again another thing that's a no-brainer for MTB, but isn't for road.
For MTB any solution will do because those guys are seldom not in a walking distance to the car or home.
Thanks for the video. On a smooth road, you would ride that tire at 100psi.
Maybe on an indoor track, but not on a road. I ride mine at 60psi according to what the SRAM calculator said.
@@Alex-kr7zr No offense, but that’s really wrong. It’s a common myth. You are losing 10w rolling resistance doing that. You don’t need hysteresis on smooth roads without vibration. There are graphed out tests. Often people use wider tires that balloon over the external and have terrible interfacing with the rim. The rim should be 5% wider than the tire to be optical. Using silicone filler to smooth the transition from tire to rim and get rid of the gap will save 2-3 watts. Painting the tire with silicone another 0.5w. Reducing psi decreases the width of the tire and in a situation where the tire is too wide for the rim (most people), it improves aero. If someone tests like this, they are mainly testing tire rim transition. It’s incredibly important and massively overlooked by most people.
Look at experimental studies and not the cycling industry. I can kindly assure you that this is the truth.
The formula for inflating your tires and knowing the actual width is to … Step1. Take away 15 from the width of your internal. Step 2: Divide the answer by 2. Step 3: Add this number to the “stated width” of your tire.
Note that psi is not the same across different tire sizes. 70psi on a 23 is equivalent to 76 on a 25. On a 28, 85 and a 92 on a 32. Levels of inflation are proportional to the maximal inflation limits of the tire. As tire size increases, so does the pressure required to fully inflate the tire. This is another reason for the bullshittery around this.
Dropping from 100 on a 23, to 90 will cost you 1-2w on an excellent road. Not every road is perfect though. By using 90 psi, you negate most of the losses from a poor surface. I’ve seen the experimental results.
I personally ride 23s preferably as they optimally match my rims. The narrower tire saves 3w over 25mm. There is so much bs in the cycling industry to sell things. Riders don’t choose their equipment. Sponsors do.
Thanks George! I haven't used Dynaplug, curious about the brass tip. Is it better for piercing through the tire? If you've got a few in there, do you feel it at all in rotation?
You’re Welcome ! You don’t feel the tip you only feel the rubber strip sticking out of the tire initially but you crush it down in a few minutes.
So the sharp brass tip stays in the tyre? So if the tyre deflates while riding can that brass arrow head stab into your carbon rim? Or into your rim tape?
Correct! Hello again Reginald!
Yes, it stays in place but no it should not damage your rim. Firstly, the brass point is not that sharp. Secondly, it is small enough to fit into the space between the rim walls.
@@manueldeubler1127 Thank You sir!
Great info George.. I’m still a tube guy out of interest what front and rear gearing do you run on your bikes ? Thanks Pete😊
Hello Pete- this is a customer’s bike. I am a tube guy too 53/39 Crankset and 11-28 cassette. We have a lot of 20% grade hills here. Last Saturday I did 18,000 feet of climbing by doing laps in my local area. No mountains or any climbs longer than 1/2 miles. Just up down up down hills
Here you go

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad yeah I’m also on 53/39 on campy and ultegra mechanical 😃.. and 11/27 or 11/29.. yeah here in the UK we have all sorts of roads and climbs to so nice to have some gearing options 😃😃👍🚴🏻 Pete
@@n22pdf 11/27 is that 10 speed? I also have a 5,000 ft in one go climb 30 miles from my home and 10,000 ft Summit 4 driving hours away
@@SeeYouUpTheRoad no this is on campy chorus 11 speed I run on my Genesis.. wow you are a climbing legend dude :)
Dude. I have this idea for fixing holes by making them bigger. :o
😂 seems so counterintuitive right? 😂
Is this better than bacon strips or the lezyne plugs? If you lose sealant after a puncture, can you guesstimate how much you lost and just top the amount back up?
I love the dynaplug in comparison to the bacon strips, I’ve never used the Lezyne plugs tho but man do those dynaplugs work !
Yes these plugs are better. Bacon never worked for me. Don’t guess just put a full serving of sealant. The more the better because tubeless road sucks and doesn’t work
@@SeeYouUpTheRoad It sucks because of the higher psi of road tires?
@@falcoperegrinus82 correct! If and when we all start riding 32mm and 34mm tires at 40 psi on our road bikes road tubeless will continue to be a fantasy. Think about why it works for MTB and gravel.
"We have a tubeless tire...". Those are the moments triggering compassion in me.
Ha ha that’s funny!
Nope! Nope! Nope! Never giving tubeless another go, I don't care what the industry innovates in the future. At the very beginning of the video you said you noticed the guy had a puncture because sealant was going everywhere. The heck with that mess. I've even come to the conclusion that if I'm riding with someone and they are running tubeless I will come up with an excuses to drop out because I ain't getting sprayed. Plus, I'm not cheap at all but tubeless is much more expensive than a tube and it's more work.
Have never used tubeless and for my cycling riding there is no need for marginal gains, in the saddle bag I carry 2 spare tubes, a mini pump, basic multi tool that's it.
I saw some of your comments on Reginald Scot’s video 😂
Plugging damaged tires on a bike is like patching worn out jeans. Wait. It's not. Patches make the trousers actually stronger. Plugs don't.
Nice one! 😂
