More car/motorcycle tech comes to bikes

Not a tubeless guy in any way, shape or form but these are really keen. IMHO of course, 'pal'...

+1 cool! remind me of car tubeless tire repairs when i worked at a gas station like 55 years ago when i was 16. i do think that they would be more suited to gravel/mountain tires than road tires.

I tried the motorcycle version of DynaPlug a few years ago and it did not work for me. I ended up using the old fashioned sticky string stuff and that did the trick.

Interesting- I would think the thinner tires wouldn’t have the force to seal up with the string thing, but would think the plug would do it. I’ve seen guys double up on the dyna plugs to get a seal.

Been around a little while now. Everyone I know on dirt carries one. I've seen it seal some big holes.

(Very much a tubeless guy except on road - it's lunacy not to be)

First thing I thought of too. My first job when I was 16 was at a tire shop. I repaired many a popped tire that way.

joostx is a big fan of these, and that guy knows gravel.
