Hi everyone, I recently discovered a slow puncture in my tubeless tyre after noticing sealant sprayed up my seat tube. I thought the sealant had done its job, but fresh spray appears after every ride, so it's obviously not sealing completely. The hole seems tiny. Can anyone recommend a good tubeless plug kit to fix this for good?

As a basic, but works well.

Weldtite Tubeless Tyre Repair Kit - this cheap one,​


toptip get some small, medium, large worms (1mm, 3mm, 5/6mm) for different holes.

I once had sealant spraying out of a small hole, which was a first for me. Turned out that I had not shaken the bottle of fresh sealant hard enough or for long enough to distribute the particles that had settled into a solid crud at the bottom of the bottle. I had to drain the old and reapply fresh sealant.

No. The hole is too big for the sealant to be effective. Maybe the hole is too big to be plugged. There's not way to be sure if a plug will fix it. You just have to try it and see how it does. Sometimes one plug won't work, so you can have to stick two in there.

If you're asking what plug kit you should get, just go out and buy a cheap one that you think looks good, and which uses regular old bacon strips. If it comes with two sizes, that's even better.

I've found the expensive kits (Dynaplug is one), don't perform any better than the cheap ones. For the cost of one Dynaplug, one plug, you can get a whole sheet of bacon strips that will last you for years.

I got this tear on the South Downs used a mushroom style plug, got me “almost”home, sealant was still gassing a little around the plug, before it let go and had to resort to a tube.

I just got a Lezyne puncture kit that slips into the handlebars, haven't had the need of it yet, but I've used similar snotty rope plugs with great success on quad bikes
 
I’ve used Stan’s Dart tool kit once to seal a largish hole left by a nail I picked up. It’s a sort of umbrella shaped plug and is supposed to integrate with the sealant.
It worked really well for the life of the tyre.
