Default Plugging a tire with DynaBeads.....
Has anybody had to plug a tire with DynaBeads in it out on the road?

I have the DynaBeads, but before I install them I would like to know the effects of an emergency plug repair out on the road.

I keep a plug kit and compact compressor in the bike at all times, just in case of a flat.

I know that a plug would be a crutch just to get home, but if all the dyna beads stick to the plug it would make for one helluva rough ride.

Not enough would stick to the plug to cause any undo issue. Fix the flat and finish riding home.

Thanks guys, I feel better about using the DynaBeads now.

I new that if most of the beads stuck to the plug it would make for a long ride home.

A small nail makes a pretty good tire plug.
