That's good to know. I'm going to toss my plugs and get new ones. Every year would probably be good. They are cheap.I've probably changed a couple hundred tires in the last ten years that were repaired with rope string that had been installed a year or two before. The customer wanted the tire changed because it didn't have much tread left or it was bald. They do work good if they a fresh when installed. Sometimes people will install rope that has gone hard and stale, those tend to leak. I still fee better with a the plug and patch repair that requires removal of the tirere am the hole out and then clan the spot where the patch is going to be applied. Put some glue on the stem and pull it through the hole. Most shops around herr will not fix a flat with the top plug. They willl only fix with the patch and plug.
I really enjoy watching his videos. Has anyone bought from his business?
Looks like to me the old fashioned worms/ strings/ rope plugs are the best.

OK, time to get rid of that gummy worm rope patch kit I transferred from my FJR, about 7 yrs (?) ago. I noticed that once I got a portable air compressor to carry, I stopped getting flats, although my friends still did/do on occasion.... rope string ... They do work good if they a fresh when installed. Sometimes people will install rope that has gone hard and stale,

I've opened them used some and carefully put the cap back on tight.
