A decade ago, Chico, California’s Dynaplug released The Pill. And today, to celebrate, Dynaplug releases a limited edition version wrapped in Rasta colors. When the Pill first launched it quickly became a big favorite of many cyclists.

With its compact design, quality materials, and versatile plugging options, it’s no wonder the Dynaplug Pill became a preferred on-the-fly tubeless plug kit. The Pill was the first bicycle-specific tubeless repair tool on the market and is still a staple in many cyclists’ tool roll.

The new limited “10-year Pill” is looking pretty fantastic all dressed in Rasta colors, I must say. The Pill is hand-anodized, so no two Pills will be the same. Machined from aluminum, the Pill weighs in at a scant 53g.

Pop the Pill open and find that it includes the full suite of Dynaplug features. There are five plug-loaded insertion tubes, an air stopper, and a micro knife. This kit will repair most tubeless flats you may encounter out there, hassle-free.

Their whole product lineup has been a limited edition for months over here in europe. It’s close to impossible to buy their plugs these days. Not sure what happened to their european distribution.

Misleading name. It’s more of a suppository.

My tire plug has a “fork” that you put the “bacon strip” into. I’m puzzled on how to use this tire plug? how do you hold the “bacon strip” with this type of plug? This seems like a great system being the size it is though.

Dynaplugs use proprietary plugs that have a metal tip permanently attached to the plug. The plug loads into an application tube, and you push the metal tip into the tire, leaving the plug sticking through. The tips are bigger than the plug so they can’t pull out, and there are different sized plugs depending on the size of the hole. The system works very well, the only caveat is the plugs are more expensive with five for $14-16.

I love Dynaplug, but a friend of mine *very likely* cracked his rim bed with the tip of an old plug (the tip was pushed through the rim tape but cannot say for sure this was the cause) when he got a second flat so I made some tips out of delrin on my little hobby lathe. Works great and the plug pulls out of the brass tip pretty easily. I wish I wish they offered nonmetal tips stock.

I’ve always wondered about that possibility. Seems like you would have to hit it just right for it to happen and maybe continue riding after the tire started leaking?

It was two completely separate flats a few rides apart. I might’ve worded that poorly. When the tire didn’t hold air well after the second plugging despite no apparent leak around either of the plugs, we pulled the tire back home and saw the tip separated from the plug and in the rim tape. When he took the tape off, he saw the crack, but we didn’t think to mark where the tip was before that so it’s just conjecture that it caused the crack to happen

Wow, so you are saying you were able to remove the Dynaplug “plug” portion from the brass tip, and install it securely in your homemade delrin tips? I’d love to see any blogs/forum posts/videos etc…that you could link to to show your process, or even just a bit more description here if you wouldn’t mind sharing.

Sorry, I didn’t document it at all. It was a spur of the moment project that took maybe a half hour to make five (Of which I’ve used one in the past year. So far so good). Just copied the dimensions of the brass tips as closely as possible. I just pulled the plugs out of the brass with tweezers and pushed them into the delrin with a little twist. They didn’t seem to use any adhesive. Just the tack of the rubber and a little compression on the diameter. And that seems to hold them in the delrin well enough.

So the brass “point stays inside the tire with the tire plug? No thanks, I stay with my “fork” type tire plug tool.

They have failed me so many times. They are just too short to stay in. Save your money folks!

I wish they’d done the Racer Pro in rasta. That’s my preferred Dynaplug tool.
