Dynaplug Racer Pro

Fast and compact tubeless tire plug tool. Great for XC and marathon racers.

NOTE: I normally buy directly from Dynaplug’s site — they’re the gold standard. This affiliate link goes to Amazon for convenience, but be sure to browse around and check that it’s decently priced, find the color you like, and make sure the seller looks good to you.✅

Why I Like It

I switched to the Dynaplug Racer Pro after getting tired of fumbling with sticky bacon strips and plug tools that never worked when I needed them to. This thing is simple, fast, and works every time. I’ve plugged some big holes mid-ride with it — even used multiple plugs in one go by just flipping the tip or popping off the other end.

The metal-tipped plugs shove in easily, and the fat plug style seals surprisingly large cuts. It’s also tiny and lightweight — I stash it in my bib cargo pocket next to a CO2 for instant access on course.

How I Use It

• I carry it every ride, especially races and long training days.
• I run the standard brass-tipped plugs.
• I usually don’t race on plugged tires unless the plugs are small and in the tread — I’m more cautious about sidewall plugs.
• Refilling it with fresh plugs is super easy.

Quick Specs

• Dual-end deployment
• Standard brass plug tips
• Fits in bib cargo or saddle bag
• Easy plug reloads
• Works on large punctures and sidewall damage

Who It’s For

If you ride tubeless and want a tool that just works — especially in high-pressure race moments — this is the plug tool to get. It’s more expensive than bacon strip kits, but totally worth it in my book.

Pro Tip

Pick up a refill kit when you grab one of these. When you eventually use it, you’ll be glad you did!
