Dynaplug Racer Pro Tubeless Tire Plug Kit: Is this the Answer to your Tubeless Flats?

- In this video I review the Dynaplug Racer Pro Tubeless Bicycle Tire Repair Kit. I provide my opinion on whether this is the best plug kit among the other Dynaplug lines, and also compare it to the most common plug kits on the market today, the “bacon strips” variety such as the Tubeless Tackle Kit by Genuine Innovations.

I've good luck with Silca Ultimate Sealer and Dynaplugs.
Thanks for putting this video together.
No problem!
SUPERB job Mike! I'm new to tubeless tires and bought the Dynaplug Racer Pro based on our local bike shop's recommendation. I didn't feel comfortable using it...however do now many thanks to this excellent video!! Thank you!
Glad it helped. It’ll take a bit of the frustration out of running tubeless.
Excellent video, I’m looking to plug a BIG hole on a near new tyre … I’m definitely getting a dyna plug now thanks mate
Great. Would be nice hear how you make out with it and how long it holds up. I’d like to test it out myself to see how long it would take before it fails, but I just don’t want to get caught out in the middle of nowhere when it eventually does.
Super helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for watching. Seems like Dynaplugs have gotten a lot more popular in the last six months or so. Not sure what triggered it.
This was great. I just upgraded to carbon wheels and tubeless tires, and I had been doing extensive research on the Dynaplug line and trying to untangle the differences. You did a great job explaining everything. I ended up buying a Racer Pro. Your video also helped me understand how to tackle a puncture, should I need to. Great video and keep up the amazing work.
Glad it was useful! I'll probably do some more videos on tubeless tires. There are so many pitfalls and it can be a steep learning curve. I figure I can't be the only one that's struggled with them.
I'm giving up on bacon strips, as I detest using the insertion tool to cut a bigger hole in my tyre in order to insert the bacon strip.
Another well thought out video, covering every one of my tubeless woes...including the tyre unseating itself, and bacon drying out.
Thanks !!
After my total frustration dealing with flats and a loss in tire pressure during my Haute Route race this year, I’m determined to nail the tubeless tire setup and maintenance. I’ll be doing a review of the Vittoria Corsa Speed tubeless tires early next season where I’ll address a couple tubeless setup issues I encountered and my discussions directly with Vittoria head office. Thanks for watching!
That was a lot more helpful then emailing Dynaplug. For the money you would think they could explain the differences within their own product line. Anyway does the metal tip then just live in the tire for life? Any risk of them breaking free and clank around in the wheel?
Hah! I'm glad I could help...correct; the metal tip lives within the tire. No need to remove it. And since it is connected to the plug part, it is unlikely to fall within the tire and roll around. I haven't personally tested the longevity of the plugs, but I know others have had no issues with them staying in place for the remaining life of the tire. I did leave one Dynaplug in my tire for three months before replacing the tire. I didn't need to, It was more just as a precaution.
If a Dynaplug is already inserted and sealed a previous hole weren’t the pointed tip puncture the rim tape if you have a new flat and lost all air while riding?
I never thought of that, but it’s a good question. I don’t think that is possible given the small size of the Dynaplug tip. With a tire completely deflated, you’ll be riding on the rim. The Dynaplug is so small that it can easily fit in the rim channel without getting pinched between the tire and road surface. The rim sidewall will prevent that. Plus, the bigger issue you’ll have if you ride on a fully deflated tire is that it’s very likely you’ll damage the rim. Even if your rim tape is somehow cut, that’ll be the least of your problems.
@@bikesbymikeexcellent reply: rim bed depth vs dynaplug tip length, makes sense. You may have convinced me to go Dynaplug. Last note: I’m sure I’ll recognize I’m out of air bf I damage my rims but many, many thanks.
I have never used a plug for tubeless. I recently had an issue with a larger hole and struggled to get it to seal. someone offered me a plug. My impression is that once I have plugged a whole the tire will never be as good as it was. Am I just too old school? I assume I get home after plugging a tire and then go to the shop or jump on line to buy a new tire?
As long as you don't have a gash in the sidewall, you are totally good to leave the Dynaplug in for the remaining life of the tire. I haven't tested it myself for that length of time, but I do believe what others say that have left a plug in for more than just the few months I've tested myself. And if you are using a really good quality sealant, like Silca Ultimate Tubeless Sealant, you really have a good backup should it fail. In the past, I wouldn't have left the old bacon strip style of plugs in for more than a ride or two because they were just too unpredictable. I do believe these Dynaplugs are much more robust. Would love to hear if others have tested it out for a really long time.
So just trash the tire?😂 You won't feel the plug. I've ridden thousands of problem free miles with plugs
Really, CO2 won't reseat the bead?
Probably had a 25% success rate over the years. All depends what tire/ rim combo you are using.
Dynaplug video says that the leftover sticking out should be cut

I wonder where to get a knife from when choosing Dynaplug Racer Pro.
