WTB - TCS Rocket Tire Plug Kit
A lightweight, durable tire plug kit designed for tubeless repairs on the go.
Why I Like It
The WTB TCS Rocket Plug Kit is my backup tubeless repair tool tucked into my SWAT bag, especially for gnarly courses like Moab Rocks. It gives you multiple plug sizes and is a reliable backup when my primary Dynaplug runs dry.
While itโs a little less slick and quick than a Dynaplug Racer Pro, itโs still an incredibly useful kit to have on hand. The tips are reusable, the plugs are solid, and it can save your day when youโre miles from the finish.
Quick Specs
- Ultra-compact tool
- Multiple plug size options
- Works with standard bacon strips
- Durable aluminum construction
- Lightweight enough for XC racing
In My Setup
- Backup to my Dynaplug Racer Pro for gnarly courses with high flat potential.
- Stashed in my Specialized SWAT bag alongside COโ and multi-tool.
- Great for when you need to plug multiple holes or a really large puncture mid-race.
Why It Works
- Different tip sizes allow you to load small or large plugs depending on the hole. The large tips allow you to insert multiple plugs at once.
- Pre-loadable tips are key for fast repairs.
- Standard bacon strips are easy to find and refill.
- Reusable tips give this kit great longevity.
Who Itโs For
Any rider โ from XC to Enduro โ who wants a reliable, lightweight tubeless repair backup. Itโs especially useful for endurance races where a fast primary plug might not be enough to get you to the finish.
Notes
- Storage Tip: Loading strips in the tips can be tricky to manage mid-race โ I recommend prepping your plugs carefully beforehand and storing them securely.
- Durability: No failures so far. Works exactly like a bacon strip repair should.
- Backup Plan: Even if you carry a Dynaplug, having the TCS Rocket in your bag adds extra peace of mind.
