I used to carry one. Never needed it. I've had 1 flat in 10 years

I didn't use to carry one but then I thought I should as I was doing a big ride in The Lakes. Had a puncture, fixed it with a weldtite kit which worked just fine.

Weldtite one. Have used it many times (on different holes, on my and others' bikes)

Cheap too

Don’t think the kit matters that much but having mixed size worms strongly recommended. (Or a flat strip and pair of scissors) I have a weldtite one, various mixed worms and a stans dart for BIG holes

Used stans darts, assuming you use stans solution in your tyres.

weldite anchovies otherwise.

Dynaplugs are spendy but excellent. Easiest to use and reliable long term fixes. Sorted plenty of pinches at the bead area with them.

I've been using the Muc Off kit. Just a pronged tool and some strips. The tool has a bit for roughing up the hole, and I've repaired three punctures successfully with it. I was always a bit sceptical about them, but I'm glad I bought it!

Basic Lifeline kit from Wiggle. Needed it once, it worked.

Dynaplug are by far the best system and easiest to use. Muc-off bar ends are colour matchy and easy to carry on the bike, although you do need a 4mm hex to access them.

A Dynaplug saved my gravel ride on Saturday.

I carry a Topeak Mini PT30 Multitool, tubeless tools built in so just need to add worms, much more compact that a separate set of tubeless tools

+1 for dynaplug. I’ve used about ten plugs including on beads and they’re good. Sometimes need two on bigger holes but they work well.

I’ve used the Dynaplug Pill successfully with a decent sidewall tear. 2 strips. First ride on a new Magic Mary X Soft tyre. I know. First tubeless puncture in many years. Refills aren’t cheap but it saved my ride so I’m happy and carry it now.
These are certainly more compact solutions tho. And the Stans kit looks well thought out.

Another dynaplug fan here. Again miraculous saves of bead pinches are probably their USP - that brass barb will get in anywhere.

If it doesn't work, how do you deal with the barb and a tube?
Can you just yank it out?

Yep the barb isn’t that evil, so you can haul it out. I’ve a leatherman squirt which is useful for this. Rarely needed though. If they do fail shoving another one in next to it generally sorts things. You can get two sizes of barbed noodly thing for different eventualities.
