Stan's Dual Action Repair for Tubeless (DART) is a game - changer for fixing damaged tires. It works faster, easier, and more effectively than traditional plug tools. Unlike old - style tire plugs that wedge rubber strips into punctures, the DART triggers a chemical reaction with Stan's sealant to rapidly form a long - lasting airtight bond. The plastic tip of the DART has barbs, which firmly anchor it in place. This ensures it stays put even during the most intense rides, and it's also safer for your rims, rim tape, and hands. The DART is made of a more flexible material, and its laser - cut shape is designed to fit different puncture shapes. This maximizes the surface area and enhances the sealing reaction. Since the DART anchors to the tire and bonds instantly with the sealant, it won't pull out while you're riding, unlike conventional plugs. Another great feature is that once inserted, it doesn't need trimming, and excess material won't interfere with your ride. You won't even feel the DART while riding, not even on road tires, and it wears smooth over time.
Using the Stan's Dual Action Tubeless Tire Repair Dart Tool is easy. First, make sure your tire has Stan's sealant inside. When you find a puncture, insert the DART into the hole. The barbed tip will hold it in place. There's no need to trim it after insertion. Just start riding, and the DART will create an airtight bond with the sealant quickly. As for maintenance, you don't have to do much. The DART will wear smooth naturally during your rides. But keep in mind that while it's safe for rims and hands, always handle it with care. If you notice the DART is loose or the seal isn't holding well, it might be time to replace it. Also, if you have a very large puncture, the DART might not work as effectively, and you may need to look for other repair options.
