Tubeless repair tools

[FDP]

So what does everyone carry to repair tubeless tyres out on the trails?

 

There are many new products on the market for tubess repairs, yet I find that some people will never let go of the spare tube as a backup.

 

What works? What not?

 

 

PS: I tried to search, but only very old posts came up.

Bombs bomb connector ,brown worms ..worm tool.and a tube on long trails.

I have had valve seating issues on flats  on two occasions and have had to put in tubes.

I've used the brown worms on bigger holes out on the trails  (a 4 inch nail)just remember to have it ready so when you pull out the sharp object you can stick it in.Or get sprayed with a stream of sealant like i did on my first attempt.

On the !Khwa ttu trail on the west coast i had so many thorns in the tires that got ripped out on the mesh on the little fence bridges that i eventually ran out of sealant in the tires so on that trail i'll actually carry spare sealant.

Mostly I don't carry tubes. Check your sealant levels often, especially before important races.

 

I carry big plug strips, plain plug tool, very small screw driver to make the hole bigger if it is small and a blade to trim the plug ends. There are thin plug strips which often come with the plug tool. These are not very good.

Also carry a lot of 12 gram CO2 bombs with the adapter. At least 4. I don't like the big CO2 bombs, they are expensive and you never need the whole thing.

2 bombs & adapter

Snot plugs (don't waste your money on shamurai, you WILL lose it and you cash)

Small bottle of sealant

Valve adapter (presta to schrader if you need to use a garage)

Valve core tool

 

And tube as last resort

Great. Seems most prefer CO2 over pumps.

 

Anyone use any of the Dynaplug solutions?

2 Bombs. 1 adapter. And a small hand pump as a last resort.

 

Also carry a tube. But my tyres are so filled with thorns i would just waste a good tube.

 

I ise the Sahmurai kit. Never failed me. Plugs are bloody thick and cam be difficult to get in. But they’ve always worked. Ive even had two in a sidewall cut. Got me to the nearest garage to try and fix it properly.

Sorry didn't mention i always carry a pump besides the 2 bombs ...Lezyne pump  with flexi connector

2 x Bomb, adapter, worm fork, 2 small 1 large worm and mushroom plug. Only recently added the mushroom plug after seeing a demo where the sidewall was sliced open and the plug used to cover it.

2 x bombs, those worm things and the insertion tool (although I could only find the fat ones, I prefer the thinner worms), pump and a spare tube. 

 

I carry a pump after my CO2 inflator unit fell apart in my hands and I wound up stranded!

 

The tube is for me or anyone else who needs it on a ride.

 

I check sealant every 2 or 3 weeks. Can pretty much hear it when you spin the wheels.

off topic (not tubeless)

 

I use original slime tubes (self seals 90% of punctures except on sidewall and glass punctures)

 

I carry a very small pump, 4 patches and a brand new small tube of glue.

So any one still using the samurai plugs?

 

I’ve seen so many on the trails to make me believe they were rubbish
