WHY DID WE MAKE IT?
WHEN YOU RIDE TUBELESS, YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR EVERY EVENTUALITY.
SOME HOLES YOU JUST CAN’T FIX WITH TUBELESS SEALANT - THE CLASSIC IS A PINCH FLAT
PUNCTURE OR “SNAKE BITE” WHERE THE SOFT TYRE IS PINCHED BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE HARD
RIM AND A MUCH HARDER ROCK. IF YOU’RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT CRACK YOUR RIM, YOU’RE VERY
LIKELY TO END UP WITH A HOLE IN YOUR TYRE, RIGHT NEXT TO THE TYRE BEAD.
HOLES DOWN BY THE TYRE BEAD ARE THE NEMESIS OF TYRE SEALANT SINCE THE CENTRIFUGAL
FORCES CREATED BY A SPINNING WHEEL FLING SEALANT OUTWARDS, TO THE TOP OF THE TYRE,
LEAVING NO SEALANT DOWN BY THE BEAD. TO MAKE THINGS EVEN WORSE, CORNERING FLEXES
THE TYRE BEAD CAUSING THE HOLE TO OPEN UP AGAIN. WITHOUT A PLUG, A TYRE WITH A
SNAKEBITE WOULD EITHER END UP WITH AN INNERTUBE IN IT OR WORSE - GOING IN THE BIN!
TUBELESS TYRE PLUG TOOLS HAVE EXISTED FOR YEARS. MOST HAVE TAKEN WHAT EXISTED
ALREADY FOR MOTORBIKES AND JUST SHRUNK IT FOR MOUNTAIN BIKES. IT’S NOT HARD TO MAKE
ONE OF THESE - ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO ON ALIBABA AND FIND SOMEONE WHO MAKES THEM
ALREADY, THEN SLAP YOUR NAME ON IT. THEY ALL DO THE SAME JOB ... AND ALL GIVE US THE
SAME PROBLEMS!
