Seen this impressive plugging contraption being carried out on the ride last weekend, pretty extreme fix, I would have put a tube in long before that.
Large hole (maybe 1.5cm?) in a Schwalbe 2.2" (Rocket Ron?). Double car tyre plug fitted (already surprised someone had those on the ride), the plugs sealed, however they would slowly slip out while riding, so tyre unseated and two further plugs (one car one regular bacon strip) threaded through the first two from the inside to stop them coming out. Reseated the tyre with a cartridge, pumped, trimmed the excess plugs and rode another 100km with no issues.
I suppose that counts as a win for tubeless..

Hi all, selling some gravel tyres surplus to my needs, but perfect for your late summer grav grav enjoyment/bikepacking trip.
All picked up from E10, or can deliver some days mid-week anywhere along my commute E10-SE1. Preference will be given to people that can collect, will consider postage following that.
Let me know if you have questions.
Cheers
GioItem A - 1x Pirelli Cinturato Adventure gravel 700x40, tan wall. Brand new, never fitted - £30 (just missed the return period)
Item B - 1x Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H 700x45, tan wall. Maybe done 300km. - £30
Item C - 1x Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H 700x45, black. Used with ~50% life left. Couple of plugged punctures which I have permanently repaired with vulcanised patches. - £20

Don't think it's that simple.
Agree more volume with low rolling resistance is faster at speed and more comfortable/less fatiguing. Disagree this applies to any surface/ride/trail condition as a larger tyre will always be less snappy and slower to accelerate, not to mention casing stiffness.
Agree that ex-pro with access to whatever selection of gear they can will inevitably converge towards the fastest solution for the "gravel" race they have entered. Disagree this applies universally.

no chance of the plug coming out with the tool
Never happened, must have been doing it wrong.
Also never had issues with size of the strips, but there have been instances where I needed to jam 2 in the same hole, which I would struggle to see possible with 2 dynaplug heads getting into each other's way - likely not impossible.

What are "mi" and "ft"?
