    Thanks for the “dart demo”. I need to add that to my emergency kit. I have sewn (needle&thread) on a larger sidewall gash using sealant and got me thru several rides until i could replace it.

    Unreal! I haven't had to use my Dart yet but glad to know they work so well. (I'll still carry a tube to ward off Murphy's law but the fact that it held in that location gives a lot of confidence)

    I've used "bacon strips" which are I think the same kind of thing. Worked great.

      Maybe it was just the tool I had, but I found that the bacon strips were hard to get into the little tool. The nice thing about the darts is they are very easy to use.

    My experience with the Dart is that the chemical reaction takes a bit longer than they let on. I usually have to pump the tire back up 1 or 2 more times before it finally seals, but those were rather large punctures, so that was probably a factor.

    I punctured the sidewall on my rear tire, large cut, I am new to tubeless (just returned to MTB after many years away), went to the local Bike shop and they used a Dart on the tire, I was amazed, I took the tool and a refill because I wan't sure it would hold, but it is been holding very well...

    I pinch flatted 3 different tires this spring. First two, "bacon strips" got me home, but lost all the air. Last tire I had the DART tool and I am impressed, good as new now. Carry the DART everywhere I ride.

    ive used bacon strips for this exact repair, i used like 5 strips and rubber cement much like you would for an auto tire and it has held without any trouble for 3 rides and counting. Ive tried the dart without as much luck, though the dart did get me off the trail.

  • @richardlee7424
    @richardlee7424 4 роки тому

    I had a puncture at the same spot and used a dart. Mine was definitely a pinch flat because I had a puncture in the tread as well that the sealant took care of. It’s still holding about 200 miles later.

  • @guitsynthcw
    @guitsynthcw 4 роки тому

    I had a hole slightly higher and with the tire on the rim, the sidewall was flexible enough that the dart pushed right through. Bacon strip worked better but they're so soft I find then hard to work with.

    I have a fun first time use with the dart after a huge nail puncture. I went to put the dart kinda sideways and the little stick that hold the dart broke. I went crazy "oh what I going to doooo?" Lol, forgot I have another dart in the other side of the cap.
    But yeah, brand new dart and I broke one side. My fault for going sideways I believe. But it works, good product.

  • @johnwilliamson9453

    Definitely a pinch. A foam insert (CushCore, Rimpact, etc) could have prevented it, and I suggest at least using on the rear.

      I've seen reports that it works with Orange Seal. I believe the chemical reaction is with the latex so should work with any latex-based sealant.

    Is this your trip testing out the spur? Question about the dart: should you carry extra sealant to optimize the effectiveness, or just carry a tube and dart later?

    • @ClintGibbs
      @ClintGibbs  4 роки тому +2

      I always carry an extra bottle of sealant and a valve core remover. If you don’t lose very much sealant with a puncture then all you need to do is put in the dart

    Looking good! I have an entirely different question. Have you ever encountered wobbely Maxxis tires?
    Cheers David

    • @ClintGibbs
      @ClintGibbs  4 роки тому +1

      There are two different kinds of wobbles for tires. One is if the bead is not fully seated in the channel then that can cause a serious wobble. You can usually recognize that by spinning the tire and watching the bead. If it dips down into the rim then you know it's not fully seated. The other kind is just a slight defect in the tire which I've seen with several tires. Can't remember if they were maxxis or not.

      Just last week I returned a new Maxxis Minion DHF because of a defect in the tire. I determined I had a faulty tire after reinstalling the tire and still had the same wobble. Then I took my Cushcore out to verify it wasn't something other than a faulty tire and still had the same wobble. The replacement tire had no issues thankfully.

    According to the instructions you’re supposed to tilt the tire upside down so that the stands flows to the dirt area. That would’ve sealed it much quicker. Also a good mechanic never turned his bike upside down. 😂🤣😭
