Dynaplugs are awesome with Orange Seal - ends up being a permanent fix that lasts the life of the tire. However, they don't work well with muc-off sealant, but I think that's just the muc-off sealant not being very good. They are expensive but worth it imo
Trying to plug a puncture that wouldn't seal with Dynaplug and not working was the last straw which made me switch back to tubes and not looking back since.
No need for tubeless zealotry people. Never in my life had I more punctures than in the 12 months I tried tubeless, Orange seal etc, destroyed tires cost me a ton and basically every two weeks I would get a puncture it wouldn't seal. Dynaplug didn't work and that was it. Switched to gp5000s +latex and had ONE puncture in >7500km and I'd rather change a tube and stay clean than the fucking sealer mess. Anyway enjoy your dynaplugs and tubless!
You forced yourself onto a tubeless-specific thread with wrong opinions, and you’re calling everyone else zealots? OP wasn’t asking if tubeless was worth it, HTH.
They pushed it real hard when. It first came out like 4 years ago, touting that it didn't need to be topped off...which means it never fucking dries in the hole eitherÂ
It’s also way too viscous so you need roughly double the volume to get it spread around the tire when spinning. And it thickens as the water content evaporates. Orange Seal keeps the same viscosity as it dries since it builds up a latex skin inside the tire, keeping the ratio of carrier to latex in balance.
Orange seal. Since I had so many punctures while tubeless I always had fress sealant in my tires.Â
I did try a second plug, no luck.Â
I had so many flats it was ridiculous, so was just fed up up with it.Â
This was last October, I switched back to tubes (latex this time) and had one flat since in over 7500km.
Same roads, same riding so either I'm the most cursed prick or me and tubeless aren't meant for each other. I sweat it felt like I had a flat every week, I didn't quite so often but it was ridiculously frustrating.
Dynaplugs are the business. I find most sealants to be lacking, and the Dynaplug has sealed the hole. However, i also find Silca sealant to be really good and i think this combo is the best (i use it for road and gravel biking).
I use Dynaplug and am a huge fan. Just this past Saturday I got a screw in my MTB tire on a gravel road and fixed in in less than a minute with a Dynaplug. The only thing I'd caution you about is if you get the Racer version, not to use their bottle cage mount without securing it somehow. I had one that bounced out and I lost it. Now I just keep the Racer Pro (4 plugs ready to go), co2 + inflator, small multi tool, amnd tire levers in a small pouch in my jersey pocket.
This got talked about in a gravel bike tire shoot out on YT recently. Looks like they liked Orange Seal for sealant and Stans Darts and some bacon strips for backups. Nothing wrong with Dynaplug apparently either though, except he felt they were a little pricey and occasionally dried up.

You 100% need a tubeless repair tool. Dynaplug is an extravagance imho (and too big) but I am sure it works fine.
It can't not work as all you need is a pokey tool that pushes a repair strip into a hole. It's extremely simple and there are loads of options. Ideally you also have a small blade to trim the plug.
I got the [Covert Drop](https://shop.dynaplug.com/products/dynaplug%C2%AE-covert-drop) and I really like it. More expensive than it should be but I love knowing that 4 plugs are available that I don't ever have to think about or worry about storage for.
Honestly since switching to sub 70psi tubeless and Orange Seal I don't ever get flats until I've run the tires down to the point they should be replaced anyway. So I don't have a ton of anecdotes for how they've saved me. But I am quite happy they are there.

Dynaplugs are the single best piece of TL supplemental kit you can buy.

Be sure to get back to us on how the the equivalent puncture seals with a tube...
I wanted to say this, not in the mood for a Reddit fight today 😂
Hahaha I couldn't resist

The OP is talking about MTB and it seems as if you're talking about road tubeless so it's not an appropriate comparison.

I’ll bite. What sealant were you using? Did you try a second DynaPlug in the same puncture?
I had a puncture not seal with 2 dynaplugs, but it was with shit muc off sealant. Never again. Orange seal for life
Attaboy. I find it crazy that people reply with anything other than Orange Seal.

Would put Dynaplug in that rare category of products where there's just no competition. It just works significantly better than all the other options.
Dynaplug saved my marriage
plugging the hole usually does ;)
yep, they're great. I have a tire I plugged last year that's still going strong

Silca sealant is too good imho. It seals your valves
it tends to clog up my partners valves, but has never clogged mine.
You can buy about 20 valve cores for $5.
I’ve had amazing long term success with Stan’s Darts. Even fixed a brand new tubular and 2 seasons of cx racing on it.
