I've successfully used the Genuine Innovation bacon strips on 28s and 38s.

For those considering the DART plugs - they are meant to to be used specifically with Stans sealant. They are coated with a compound that accelerates polymerization of Stans which in conjunction with the fabric fins helps seal larger holes.

AFAIK, these plug kits are for larger sized holes, and not for small punctures like thorns. When your sealant isn't working for a thorn puncture, and you're out on the road, I'd recommend using a tube rather than ream out a much larger hole in the tire to accommodate the plug, thereby compromising the casing. That forked end of the Genuine Innovations tool is pretty big to be jamming it into a tiny thorn puncture. And if your tire beads move to the center well of the rim, you might as well break out the spare tube because you probably won't be able to to pump up the tire anyway with a hand pump. Just my opinion here as I have both Dynaplug and Genuine Innovations kits, but haven't used either yet and I may not ever.

I heard they work well but only work well with stans, they work like crap with orange seal which is what I use.

Been our experience as well. Have to say in brand for the Dart Plugs.

Does this mean you are no longer carrying tubes? I've not changed a tube in at least 2 years but still carry one on every ride.

Dynaplug Bullet

On my MTB. I don’t bother on the road. I carry a couple of Tubolito tubes and a Park tire boot.
