Product Information

What happened? Awkward to try and plug can’t preload - Could not get stip to stay in tire liked the idea of abrasive/reamer along tool, but might be best on larger tires only. And there are now 9 different RAP II basic to fully kitted-out tubeless-ready multitools in the revamped lineup that also debuted this past spring. With some breakage and the plastic head of the DART as a real struggle to insert, this tool might only be useful with large punctures. If you seem to tear sidewalls, or go big with punctures and need a way to get home, this might be the tool for you.

Multi-taskers - Many of the best plugger tools we tested were built to do that one thing, while others are built into multi-tools or entire tool systems. Are you happy with your existing multi-tool or other elements of your flat kit? If not then consider these multi-taskers as a clever way to build out your tool arsenal. A tool that's hidden but always there. Granite's Stash Tire Plug seamlessly disappears in your handlebars or hollow axle crank, out of the way but there when you need it. How do you get around German StVZO rules that limit how bright your bike headlights can be and how their lenses must cutoff light output to not blind oncoming traffic? Apparently, just slap some helmet mounts on top of them and they are ‘multi-sport’ lights and not ‘cycling’ lights that would be used in traffic on the road. The quality aluminium all-in-one kit comes with a reamer and fork, medium-sized strips and two different end caps so you can choose to fit the stash tool in your handlebars, steerer tube or hollow crank for a small weight addition of 35 grams. With the Lezyne Tubeless Kit you repair a hole in a mountain bike tyre that is too large for the sealant only. The casing is made of aluminum and also acts as a handle. The needle itself is made of durable steel and contains a reamer. This allows you to neatly smooth the hole in the mountain bike tyre before you plug it. Five plugs are included. In short, with this small piece of equipment you will soon be on the road again!Type of riding - This test was structured with gravel riding and the tires and likely punctures of this style of riding. Many of the pluggers in the market are oriented to mountain biking and size their tools and repair strips accordingly. We struggled with this larger strip size and left off several tools that fell into this category. Additionally, the kit you carry may vary depending on pace, terrain, and remoteness. Some tools are oriented toward fast and light, while others are heavier duty or feature-rich. The Best Tubeless Puncture Repair Tools Although this may vary depending on tire volume, we recommend carrying 2oz of sealant for small day rides or overnighters, at least 4oz of sealant for trips up to a few weeks, or for extra long trips, make it 8oz. Orange Seal comes in handy 4oz injector bottles. Orange Seal Endurance is a favorite for several of us here. Tube(s)

The fine-toothed file section of the tool (some people would call it a reamer) works well to scour the puncture hole, and the two-pronged insertion tool does a good job too. Innovative 2-in-1 cycling CO2 dispenser and tubeless tire repair kit simultaneously inflates and seals tubeless tires. From one end you get a reamer/plug insertion needle tool and a small plastic spacer that holds the tiny stainless steel shiv micro knife to trim the excess plus after you are done – extra helpful for smooth rides on repaired road tubeless. Engineered for road, mountain, or gravel bikes, the comprehensive Pro Tubeless Kit is the perfect all-in-one tubeless tire repair system. Having a color pop or color-coordinated bar end is also an appeal as these come in 12 color options. They are the most involved to fit into drop bars and also the slowest to remove. Utilizing the 4mm hex to get a comforting snug install also means you need the 4mm to get the tools out of the bar ends. It’s not a complicated ordeal, but potentially an issue of lost time and lost tire pressure and sealant.

If you find an item at a lower price with another commercial internet retailer, you will receive it from us at the same price, provided the conditions listed in the link are met. The granting of a best price is not combinable with other promotions (e.g. "free articles) from Bike-Discount. The tubeless plug tool is encased in an aluminum body and threads onto the tool which pulls double duty as a chain breaker. It has space to store the included 5 repair strips and preload the fork tool with one as well. On its own, the plugger was pleasant and easy to use. Strips loaded into the fork easily, even when doubled up, and plugged punctures well, detaching from the fork to remain in the tire. Essentially, outward tire pressure from inside the tire helps hold it in place, so as long as you don’t have a cut big enough to have damaged the casing construction of the tire, you should be good.

Roll a dozen or so winds around your pump. Gorilla tape can be used to help with a tire tear or to re-tape a rim, in addition to a ton of other miscellaneous uses around camp. Patch Kit So would I recommend it? I don't think so, in its current design. Make the reamer removable and offer a standard valve fitting as part of the tool too and it would make much more sense, but as it is currently it's not really a standalone solution to fixing your trailside tyre woes. VerdictAt home or in your workshop, you glue to the inside of your tire (after cleaning it super well to get rid of sealant residue) using a special type of rubber cement that is included in the kit. And then trim off the excess when you are done. The Wolf Tooth Encase Chain + Tire Plug Multi-Tool is meant to be a multi-tasker, but it’s a clever one at that. Initially, the kit seemed too large to fit in the curve of a drop bar, however, once the design of the pivoting tool was placed correctly, the installation was consistently a breeze. A few weeks ago I got a nice brand new Maxxis enduro tire, and as tough as they usually are, I still managed to stab a hole in it literally on the first ride. Now, Lezyne has a way for me to pull out that ‘temporary’ trailside repair, and replace it with a more permanent solution that I won’t worry about creeping out over the life of the tire.
