Lyne Components Shred Zeppelin: All-in-one tubeless repair tool

I don't even bother with the glue

What glue..?Maybe I have been doing it wrong

Been using monster plugs in 4 x 4 tyres for ages and was happy when they gave us the same on the bike

plug and go

have another look at the plug kit that you bought for the 4x4, or motorcycle .... they all come with a tube of puncture repair glue.  In the instructions it recommends that you replace the glue once used, as it hardens in the tube once opened.  I mostly used the glue when doing bundu repairs on the 4x4 or bikes.

NOT a good idea to seal sidewall punctures ... but when in the bush you sometimes have to ....

Have NOT seen the glue being sold with the kits for MTB ... probably because it is used with tubeless setups, where some slime is expected to seal that last little opening

December we stopped to help a gent on the Meerendal trails.

 

Hole just too big for the slime to work ... too small to get the plug in .... had to wait until another rider with a Samori Sword stopped.  One plunge with the reamer and in the plug went.

 

 

EDIT - think it is only the Samori that still includes a reamer ...

Have you not seen what the plugging tool looks like its got a point which you stick in like a knife then pull back the more resistance the better.If a thorn can get in there so can I

No they dont and I can guarantee you I have fixed more punctures in Central Kalahari than you will in a lifetime

just soooo much easier and safer using the correct tools.

Ok you win

He must have come from Kyalami

In fairness .... my comments stem from repairs to bike and vehicle tires.

I have not needed to plug a tubeless along the trail.  Seeing the gent struggle at Meerendal without a reamer made me have another look at my toolkit.  Shopped around and looked at kits at most local shops.  Actually bought the "Slug plug" unit, purely due to its small size.  Just could not shake the image of that gent struggling along the trail .... ended up buying the Samori Sword.

I'm surprised a samori tool worked, Those cheap Burmese knockoffs aren't safe. I use the genuine Sahmurai swords....

mate..dont get to technical and spend more money.All you are doing is fixing a leak

Your spelling....

TBH is an excellent product and idea, if only they would saamry! slug plug as well, well constructed but the spare plugs are kept somewhere else. The Lynn idea takes the negative out of the others.

Personal experience is that I have lost lots of Samurais, touch wood have not had to use my Slugplug yet, but to have the spare plugs within the device is awesome. Well done Lynne

Cheapskate

I have probably used a thousand plugs.

Never use the reamer, or glue.

This looks beautifully made, but I usually want to get to the plug ASAP, so screwing attachment is not ideal.

A two sided tool, one small and one big, would be great, holes vary in size.

impeccable...

 I've never lost a Sahmurai sword but I have broken several through hangar rash - bike being tipped over by one of shepards or the kids or  at the coffee shop...maybe even a fall or two.

Storing the plugs is easy, just slide the plugs onto the plugging tool and roll the packing around the tool before sliding it back into the handlebar.

And this launches the exact same week I buy the plug kit for my One-Up EDC...

2 days ago I bought the Sahmurai-sword... Now I see this.

Really neat idea.

Couldn't see, but does it come with something to keep debris out where the cartridge screws into?

Like this much more than my purchase 2 days ago.

Nice but where can we buy it as Lyne has no stock?

Patience...

Nice idea, but pretty useless on the trails.

The bomb device could not puncture the seal on the bomb the first time I used it. I eventually had to remove the rubber seal to get it to punch which caused most of the air to blow out when I tried to bomb my tire.

The plug tool also did not cover itself in glory as it just made the hole bigger and bigger and not plugging at all.

Lots of money for nothing...

exactly why you need a tool WITH a reamer ....

Hi Rudi

Sorry to hear your Shred Zeppelin didn't perform as it should have. Before shipping out the product we made a change to the O-ring size to allow for a better punching on certain bombs with a concave seal. It seem you may have received one with the incorrect O-ring, we'll send out a replacement unit for you today.

As for the plug side, our plug applicator falls within the same dimensions as most popular applicators on the market (image below) so I am interested if the performance would have been any different. Was the hole perhaps pretty large to begin or in a difficult position along the tyre bead? We plugged a lot of tyres with our prototypes without fail, so your feedback is important for us for future product improvements.

Cheers
