Crankbrothers Solved the Weakest Link in Tubeless Repairs.
Crankbrothers’ Plug Mate adds an internal anchor to tire plugs—turning quick fixes into semi-permanent MTB repairs for just $9.99.
The Problem Isn’t the Plug 🚲
A tire plug usually seals. The real failure happens later—hard braking, side loads, casing flex at low pressure. That’s when a standard bacon strip can slowly work its way out. Crankbrothers’ Plug Mate Tire Anchor Kit solves that specific weakness by adding a sideways-rotating internal anchor. Once inserted, the small plastic “bullet” flips perpendicular inside the casing and mechanically locks the plug in place.The One Detail That Matters ⚡️
The anchor rotates and locks inside the tire. That small mechanical change turns a friction-based repair into something closer to a rivet. No metal. No rim damage risk. And it works with the plug fork you already carry. At $9.99, this isn’t about emergency repair. It’s about making a mid-ride fix semi-permanent—especially if you’re running low pressures on aggressive terrain.Why It Matters
- Prevents re-failures when loads spike on rough trails
- Extends tire lifespan on expensive MTB casings
- No new tool required — compatible with standard forks
- Reusable anchors reduce long-term waste
- $9.99 insurance against replacing a full tire
