Each kit comes with one sheet of 3mm plugs and one sheet of 1.5mm plugs which store wrapped around the fork, neatly hidden away inside the tool pod. F Save a tyre - save a rideWhen you ride tubeless, you need to be prepared for every eventuality. There are 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 two holes in your tire, one on top of the tyre and one 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, so, even if sealant does temporarily fix it, it's likely to be opened back up again with cornering forces. Without a tyre plug then, a tyre with a snakebite would typically end up with an innertube in it or worse - going in the bin! Not just an ‘off-the-shelf' productTubeless tyre plug tools have existed for years. Most have taken what existed already for motorbikes and just shrunk it for mountain bikes. Here at peaty's we have redesigned the tubeless tyre plugger to make fixing your tyre as simple and easy as possible. Unique fork designPeaty's unique single-sided fork design allows for multiple plug sizes to be easily rolled into the dip of the fork and pushed straight into the tyre. The open side to the fork then allows for the tool to be easily pulled back out of the hole, without pulling the plug out with it. No fumbling around with your gloves on trying to thread a needle like you have to with a traditional fork design, this is super quick to apply and delivers perfect results every time. Designed by riders, for ridersMade from high quality 316 Stainless steel, the fork has been designed to be as short as possible to reduce the chance of you puncturing your rim tape when inserting a plug. The fork has also been designed with a remaining texture on the shaft, to clean out punctures before plugging, and to be as slim as possible, so it doesn’t widen the size of the hole already there. Small and compactThe plug sheets are stored within the tool itself and the whole thing is designed to be as small and lightweight as possible for easy storage.
