Stan's DART Tool: Can It Fix A Flat Tire Better Than Bacon Strips?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лют 2020
- Stan's NoTubes is back at it with, the DART; what might be considered the greatest and easiest tire plug of all time. Bacon strips will soon be a thing of the past. The DART Tubeless Tire Plugs can be stacked up to fit tire gashes of all sizes. Jeff even sliced a 9mm cut into the tread and sidewall of this tire to see how well it works. Although we did run into some complications trying to seal the test tire with bacon strips, the Stan's DART tool came back with the best results we could have hoped for and because of that, we are all switching over to the Stan's DART Tool from here on out. Click play and watch why the DART works so much better than Bacon Strips and why you should consider getting some if you are prone to getting flat tires out on the trails!

Have you used bacon strips in the past? If so, will you now be switching to the Stan's Dart Tool? Let us know!
I'm going to try anything thats good and new.
I’ve used something like bacon strips successfully, and they came with some adhesive. I didn’t see you apply any adhesive?
Have used bacon. Bought Dart tool 2 weeks ago. Already used it twice and it's amazing. Dart tool for the win! 🤘
Yes & already did. Awesome product....
Bacon strips are garbage 🗑
I bought the Dart tool a couple weeks ago and have already used it twice. Works amazing. Way better than bacon strips. This video was funny as hell BTW 😅
Quite a few memes
I would have like a demo with the tire flat. Anyone getting a 9mm gash will be dealing with a flatted tire and then having to re-air it after the patch job,
that's right!!!
@@ajsiino741 A 9mm gash? Ridght?!
@@ajsiino741 But you're likely to not notice you have a leak before its too late especially if air is rushing out that fast.
"BACON STRIPS".......like a bad 80's song going through my head hahahaa
I buy from wwc just because of the videos
I'm not even from the US but I watch the videos purely out of entertainment.
Werner van der Merwe me too, but when i go on a trip to the US i will go to WWC
I would too, but shipping costs to Finland are way too ridiculous.
I recon that’s the point
Their website needs major improvement.
You vegan hippies. I'm never giving up my bacon strips for your new-age, millennial technology. Bacon for life!
Kyra Sedgwick certainly agrees.
Oh yeah! we are coming for your bacon, and all bacon should be banned.
Vegan bacon is just as good as regular bacon. It also replaces disgusting animal flavor with what I think 4 day old ass would taste like.
Sweet Jimmy hahahaha your a discrace
New tech?, this darts are at least a 20 years tool used in mbikes and cars. And they dont cost 12 bucks per unit.
BACON STRIPS!!! * takes a shot*
This video made me want to try both Stan's Dart Tool and Bacon Strips (but only one of these on my tires)
The "Bacon Strips" cutaway had me laughing so hard
That's what she said
The first two times maybe
Way over used though!
After about the 10th I stopped the video. I want my time back. Why do youtubers think they are some kind of artists
Boring and juvenile and unfunny though.
I watch WC cyclery more then Netflix this month and loved every minute of it
This had me laughing hard many times. Super funny video and I bought the Stans Dart Tool a few months ago but have not had to use it yet.
Ha ha! Great video guys! Thank you! I’ve been carrying the Darts since they came out. Luckily have not had to use them yet but good to know they work if/when needed! 👍🏼
Thank You for finally answering my question, that I've been asking since the Dart was introduced, on whether or not it would work with other sealants, I will be placing an order soon.
Great video. Thanks for being so thorough and doing real testing. Oh, and funny too!!!!
I have had to use the dart 3 times, and it worked every time
You actually used Hans Zimmer from VAT19. Absolute legends
Moment of silence for the camera.
Very entertaining, nice work fellas 👍🏻
The actual bacon clips started out annoying me but ended up being hysterical. Well done.
They used the Family Guy/Monty Python method. Go well past annoying to when its funny again.
what a hectic and amazing video
Have used the Dart about 3 or 4 times now.. no problems, they work great!
You guys are hilarious 😂😂😂😂! I love it!
Great vid again Jeff 👍🏻
I don't even care about this product review this vid is so funny can't stop 😂 😂😂
The funniest video I’ve seen in awhile haha!
Amazing you got them to work. Every one I’ve used break off.
Great content and Stans is the mans... ok not as funny as your video, but unbelievable what those darts can do. Ordering some today
lol so much awkward at the end i love it!!
I carry and used my Dynaplug kit. Super easy and it works. Little expensive but it works
I've had to use my Dart on my road tyres about twice and a fellow cyclist who was stuck at the roadside once. They seem to hold in the tyre much better than the bacon strips or worms as we call them . My road tyre continued to hold air for a further 2000k until I scrapped the tyre in March this year. I'm converted and now have several Darts tools taped to each bike.Enjoy the ride ...not the punctures.
Awesome.. Stan,s darts it is then ... cheers Chris & Sam
I just love the editor 😂✌🏼
For a large slice like this, after the DART gets you home, I'd recommend stitching the gash with dental floss. Seals up great and makes a reliable repair, even if it's right next to the bead.
I'm sold on the Stan's dart
Definitely adding the dart tool to my repertoire, then buying some actual bacon.
I bought the darts as soon as they were available! They are way more money but work so well I don't care.
Finally there's a test by Cutting instead punching.....nice!
Sweet baby jesus that was a great video.
The more tv shows you watch the better you'll understand their videos
Now they need to figure out how to put one of these on your EDD tool 🤔 I need this!
Yes
I genuinely love these videos, mostly for the inserted clips, wife's looking at me funny because I'm buckled laughing at bacon strips 😂
I've used Stan's Darts successfully twice now to seal up two different slashes in my road tubeless tires (Bontrager R3 32mm). They work fantastic basically. The only concern I have is that if you have one in there, and your tire goes completely flat and you're riding on the rim for a time, it might be possible for the pointed plastic end to poke a hole in your rim tape. Would have to be in the right spot (spoke hole) of course, and would have to hit it straight on, but seems like it could happen. Bacon strips have always been a pain though, so the Dart is worlds better.
Zach Wagner: From what Stan's wrote to me, the plastic "barb", or tip, will not damage your rim tape upon another flat where the tire is run to the point of eliminating the air inside. In fact, it was designed with this issue in mind.
@@lazurm Huh... that's good to know, though I'm not sure how it's supposed to not damage it. Either way, I think it's a pretty rare situation where it could happen.
Your killing me 😂 wit bacon strips
The dankest mountain bike channel, great video!
I have used the Stan's Dart on a sidewall slash. They worked great. My only concern/question is about the Chemical reaction that is supposed to take place. The slash is sealed, but the material that sticks out remains wet. Is this normal? I thought after several days it would all dry up.
Loved this video..need.to update it and do one with dynaplugs
I have a dynaplug racer never had to use it yet but stans dart looks a sweet little tool
I've had mixed success with my dynaplug (with both size inserts). Works a treat on small penetrations, but no chance on a 9mm cut based on my experience.
Fucking hilarious! Every time you cut to some random scene 😂😂😂
Using and liking
Less than a minute into the vid and laugh at every single joke, nice job
What an excellent demonstration of an excellent product! The humour was an excellent choice to add to an otherwise very dry topic!
Informative vid. Bacon strip cut ins were funny the first few times...
Great video! It sure seems useful. Why does it only work with few latex based sealant and not with all of them? Did Stan's comment on this? Thanks in advance.
Its designed to work with Stans sealant. That is s the most Stans would likely say about the matter.
Awesome video. How far in do you push the stands dart? Until it hits the rim? Thanks. Bought my Stan dart from your awesome website.
You push it in until it bottoms out on the tool and tire. Very intuitive and easy. Just stab it! Depending on the size tire, that will likely not hit the rim. At least not on a Mtb tire, maybe a road bike tire.
Thank you so much for shopping with us! Genuinely appreciate that.
0:01 that one really lucky guy: Ok byeee
Never had a problem with bacon strips, but i always double load up and make sure the strips are going the length of the cut. Also insert all the way to where only a lil bit sticks out, about height of the knobs. Twist half a turn one direction and pull out the tool . 🤷 Maybe I've never had a 9mm cut before lol, but definitely do like the new system and will probably pick sum up soon. I run tough casing WTB tires and never carry a tube... Just a matter of where to store that capsule as i ride packless 🤔
It’s impossible for me to watch any WWC video without laughing.
I used a bacon strip (weldtite kit) for the first time ever today. It worked absolutely fine, however, as per instructions, I put rubber solution on it before popping it in.. I wonder if this makes a difference?!
😂😂😂
Nice vid as always.
dart tool saved my ass today! i tried the bacon strip first but the cut was just a tad too wide so i pulled it out and popped in a dart,
They work 100%...my dynaplug was old and rotting. It failed on Hi line while on vacation but luckily had the dart...stabbed it, spun it around, 6 seconds later we we're on our way.
I've got the dynaplug. It' nice but replacement plugs are hard to find.
2 questions. Can you just get the refills and use with a 2mm or similar multitool? Does the dart tool fit into an EDC pump compartment?
With regard to refills, in the UK they're £20 for a pack of 5. The Dart tool is £25 and $25 in the US, so I guess the refills are probably about $20.
Would be dope to use them with the edc compartment
I might try that. I never liked how bulky the plastic case is.
I’ve used bacon strips for car tires with good results, but I sure don’t want to screw with them on the trail. Stans Darts FTW.
5:30 nice mullet!
I make sure to keep my Stan's Sealant fresh by adding more every 3 - 6 months. I"m wondering if, with the DART, I can now get rid of my emergency tube carried in my below the seat mounted bicycle bag. Is it reliable enough to no longer keep a tube while riding?
Just wasted 2 Stans Darts because a buddy insisted on filling my new E13 TRS MoPo tire with his E13 sealant. Didn't realize until I watched your video that E13 sealant is NOT compatible. The dart at least occupied the gap long enough to get back to the car.
I'm sold
I run tubes! Only had one flat in 15yrs!
Wait what! I get punctures riding on the road with tubes
any chance there is an adapter to make these darts work with my edc tool?
How long do the Darts last? Do you use them just to get home and then perform a more permanent patching solution or just keep on rolling with the Dart?
You can just keep on rolling with them. I've had one in my tire for 2 weeks 😁.
But they are really made for larger slashes that sealant is not able to seal. Which means that even if you use one and it works you should probably consider replacing the tire and not continue using it.
Does anyone know if this fits in the storage pocket at the bottom of the oneup EDC tool ?
Great vid on Stan’s Darts. On another note,do you use a pork chop to comb your hair? Thanks.
This the second time im seeing this thing demoed. I’m still asking the same question: does it work on road tubeless tires the same way?
Yes it does! However, like any plug on a slick tire, it adds more of a bump once you start riding again since the tread doesn't cover it up like it would on an Mtb tire.
@@WorldwideCyclery It works perfectly fine on road tires and no you can't feel any bumps while riding.
That was the funniest video I've seen from u guys
What about this vs the dynaplug? Essentially bacon strips already attached to a dart. Plus you get more uses out of it and its smaller
How long will the "darts" last unused? Is there a shelf life on them? Also, can this tool work with CushCore installed or will the dart put holes in it? Let us know. 👍
Eric Knowles Thanks for the update. Appreciate it.
Steve Devereux: The issue with shelf life has to do with the DART being exposed to air. As long as you keep them sealed in the container that comes with them the chemical won't evaporate/deteriorate. To confirm I'd suggest emailing the company.
lazurm Thanks for the information. 👍
ordered.
damn was not sold until I saw the sidewall fixed.
I know with bacon strips one is supposed to use like a patch when they get home as bacon strip is supposed to be temp. Is that the same with the Darts?
I really enjoyed seeing bacon every time instead of just hearing it, that was funny.
Mucho money!!! But so worth it. I’ll keep buying darts.
I was thinking about getting a dart about two or three months ago, since I barely use bacon strips I figured and I wouldn't ever need a dart thing, fast forward to last sunday and me having to put on a tube on a side slashed tire and having to ride extremely slow and carefully to my friends scared and about to send a search party for me
Jim Norton on the thumbnail 😂
I bought one and the white plastic tip and the rubber got stuck inside. So I used the other one left and same thing kinda happened but a little flav was left sticking out and I managed to push it again to get it to seal but. Maybe it’ll work better next time, iv never used bacon strips tho
I hope you're happy, I made a sheet of bacon.
Also does the dart plug have an expiration date where the chemical reaction no longer occurs?
I'd love to see what your opinion is on the dynaplug..
Do I have to drink white claw while using DARTs? (Awesome video by the way.)
You don't have to, but it does help.
Has anyone tried using just the Stans Darts with another tool? I'm wondering if the Oneup EDC tool could be modified to work with these or if one of the tools that fit in the end of your handle bar could be modified to work too.
What sealant was in the tire?
Hi Jeff, forgot to mention......I happened to drive up to the WWC in PA from Wash. DC cuz I was supper bored that day and lo and behold who was the second person to greet me once I walked in but none other than the Jedi himself. Jeff, I said to you then and I still mean it. "I'm going to cut your hair." Funny cuz you asked, "Are you are barber?" And I with all honesty said "No. But I do have clippers and a straight razor in the car." Now some say its weird that I carry hair clippers, straight razors, $900 worth of Phantom Fireworks and Bear mace with me all the time but hey, come on I'm from DC. Is that truly the weirdest thing y'all have heard? Anyhooo, I'm still gonna give you a free haircut and in advance FYI I don't accept tips. Its just my gift to you.
Peace and Chicken Grease.
The Dart is very good, Im sold on them, but I barely use bacon strips, I end up giving them all away because I rarely get punctures
I’ve never seen so many bacon strips in my life👍🏻
Dynaplug makes the best tire plugs IMO. Never failed me and they come in a wide variety of sizes/colors/limited editions... all super rad and based out of Chico, CA!
How does the Dart compare against the Dynaplug? I carry the Dyna with 4 plugs but never had to use them,,, yet....
I'd like to know this as well, I've had to use dynaplugs a couple of times and love them.
John Squibb I’ve had the dynaplug system before and the quickly dried out and did not work at all, attempted to fix a flat and went through several dynaplugs with no luck. I’ve used bacon strips with great success so if this works better than it will be a perfect system to keep in your pack
John Squibb: One issue with the Dynaplug is the fact that the bard is too long and there's a possibility of damaging the inside of the tire. Worse, the bard is metal and can damage upon a second flat that allows the tire to touch the rim.
I have the same wooden pig cutting board :-)
This tool may work on MTB tires with approx. 2-3 Bar tirepressure; will it also work on road tires that are inflated to 5-6 Bar ?
Yes it does. Sidewall punctures as well.
I use Dynaplugs. I tried Stans darts, but they didn't work for me. They break off too easily
Is slime a compatible sealant with the dart?
James Miller: Only latex based tire sealants are compatible.
How do you use the dart tool on an already flatten tire?
