Tire Plug Kit

Stans DART

The tire plug has become a favourite emergency spare of the Enduro rider. Forget a tube, just plug the hole and inflate the tire!

Stans’ take on the tire plug works both physically and chemically. According to Stans, the barbed tip of their DART plug anchors into the tire so it will not pull out when riding and the material it is made of is coated with a safe chemical that reacts with any latex sealant to further help seal the hole in the tire.

Details:
• Two heads on tool
• Valve core remover
• No trimming needed
• Weight: 15 grams (complete tool, two Darts)
• MSRP: $25 USD, 5-pack of refills ($20 USD)

 Where the f*ck is the field test! Don’t be soft PB.

 @freestyIAM: This isn't a good look for Pole.

1. We accidentally sent maybe the biggest bike review website in the world a misassembled bike with a random prototype part attached!
2. It's unfair that we didn't get to replace it midtest!
3. Pinkbike is just trying to drum up views with controversy by reporting that the bike we sent them broke while doing bike things! Unfair!

flag barefootdan (Nov 15, 2019 at 9:35) (Below Threshold)
 @MarcusBrody: in fairness of Pole, Pinkbike does state that the bikes tested are "same as customers" and this was not the case for the Stamina. This is not the same bike being tested as what customers will get. So the failure would never happen to a customer (for this example).

 @MarcusBrody: agreed. As soon as i see 'prototype' i prepare for some bs. If u send a bike for test u should be damn sure every box is checked.

 Conspiracy: Pole sent XC version knowing it would be lighter and faster to win.

Backfired, broke, now they get to say oops it was the prototype.

 @barefootdan: But in fairness to Pinkbike, they didn't ask for a "prototype" rear triangle to be attached to the bike they were sent (if that's in fact what happened). Why would a customer expect any more care in the assembly of their bike than the one sent to a major review website?
  • 3 2
 @LuvAZ: you'd be quite surprised to find out that this is very often not the case with test bikes. Dunno if it's a money thing, but in my experience the test bikes were always the first produced/often prototypes and would never be replaced with production stuff even if there were issues.
  • 21 20
 @MarcusBrody: Leo may have an attitude problem... but that’s what driven him to make those bikes. I’d still buy 180 Stamina if I had the money
  • 8 7
 Bad luck for Pole, but problem originates with them so they own it - not the 'whistleblower' (hehe Wink ). Leo did a good job of covering his company (and employees), and slapping PB for not doing Pole's job. Probably everybody wins - unlike the other situation.

 Those bikes are still in the prototype process. It seems like a lose-lose situation.
Pinkbike public is like hey, we saw you guys on a Pole, when's the review?!?
Pole: these are still test bikes, but, ok.
Pinkbike field test: yeah, we broke it, but you can't defend it or fix it, sorry.
Pole: yeah, it's a prototype.
Pinkbike public: ooohhh their just trying to PR their way out!!!

Really? Because you've been able to order one on the website for months now. Pole isn't claiming that the bike is still in prototype phase, just that they somehow accidentally attached a weaker prototype swingarm to the production bike.

  • 16 3
 @Vudu74: perhaps sites such Pinkbike should no longer accept "prototypes" for regular testing. Either it's labeled a consumer-ready product, or it's not in the test. Period. Than, and only then, can we get out of the "prototype" or "pre-production" BS.
  • 25 0
 @freestyIAM: I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt but that's a PR disaster. The whole thing is them going between "look how much they liked the bike!" and "but really it's all Pinkbike's fault". So much deflecting, if you made a mistake just own it

 @barefootdan: Well they knew the bike they were sending was for a high-profile test so I'd expect it to be more on-point than a consumer version. I understand mistakes happen but if you read the Pole press release they try really hard to deflect with a lot of straw-man arguments and whataboutism. Could you imagine the outrage here if we found out the Pole bike broke and then PB let them quietly replace it and retest?
  • 1 1
 Not posting the full review/break video would be classic PB soft.

 @H3RESQ: yesterday on Joe Rogan: as a comedian when you bomb on stage and people start heckling you and booing, you say “lova ya” and leave the stage. You don’t start calling them idiots and a*sholes that don’t get you.

One of the most Experienced and successful project managers at my work: never go forward and excuse yourself ahead of accusations, no matter how noble it may appear to you. It just shows your insecurity and blame while they may have never accused you of anything.

Every second hollywood movie: you have a right to remain silent, whatever you say may be used against you.

Except on the internet everything you say WILL be used against you.

Super dumb move by Pole with writing this “piece”. What if lads said: “we broke the frame but everything breakes eventually - end of story”.

  • 8 7
 @sospeedy: I agree with this 100%, but it's not going to be like that. If this was their Evolink is probably be with everybody else thinking that they're covering their ass. Pole started a BRAND NEW way to make bikes. Trying to figure out what is going to work and what isn't is part of the process. Making mistakes is so frowned upon now that nobody can innovate. Every one has to make it look like a session so they make sure they don't get roasted in a comment section.

 You can order them for delivery “7 weeks out.” Unfortunately, “7 weeks out” is actually the time from order until the next time they tell you “7 weeks out” which is just the interval until they tell you “7 weeks out” again and on and on it goes... Not sure how many people have actually gotten a Stamina delivered. I do know people who ordered in June that are still waiting.

 lamentable. A pole's reply in the line of "we messed up, but lesson learned andfrom now on we'll build stronger swingarmsl" would have earn them some respect, even.

Also, give credibility to PB when they like the bike and they say is fast, but acussing them of sensationalism when the same bike snaps is straight up a dick move.

 @freestyIAM: "the first batch of Machines had a design flaw in the rear triangle that caused the chainstay to fail unnecessarily soon"

They fixed the problem, but what is the expected lifespan?
  • 3 0
 @Vudu74: There's a middle ground there. Just because the manufacturing method is new doesn't mean the testing methods are new. They should have been confident in their product BEFORE sending it for a review. And also confident enough in their staff that they wouldn't make such a simple mistake. Turns out manufacturing consumer products is hard, but there are thousands of other companies that are competent enough to get it done...

After all of the negatives I have heard about this company even before this broken bike, I would never even consider buying one of their hype machines.

 I own an Evolink and honestly, I love the bike. It comes apart super easy to service, the geo is spot on for me and I think it looks awesome. I feel like Pole should have just stuck with the Evolink line and continued to improve on it rather than sell them as a means to fund these cnc bikes. As a machinist I love what they're trying to do, i think its awesome, but it's not worth the hassle imo. So many angry people not getting their bikes when promised etc. meanwhile the Evolink is forgotten about. Shame.

 They don’t have to release these in any particular order. If they want to hold the Pole video, fine. But didn’t they have a couple other bikes in this class to review?

Anyway, I’m not a fan of Pole. Don’t have carbon bikes? China’s fault. We are taking the environmental high road. Bike breaks? We sent the wrong one, and Pinkbike didn’t let us send them a replacement. So what guarantee as a consumer do I have that they won’t make the same careless mistake with my production bike? A lot of deflection from this company. And their bikes are ugly.
  • 4 0
 @rzicc: Pole pre-emptively posted a response that the poster above me linked. It basically went from "Prototype pre-production somehow got shipped!" to "But Pinkbike unfairly wouldn't let us send a replacement and retest it after the field test" to "They're just drumming up controversy for clicks!"

It was kind of a shitshow.
  • 2 0
 @MarcusBrody: Yeah, I could have sworn yesterday there was only the part about the wrong rear triangle, and the quote about how fat they were from Kazimer and Levy.

Pinkbike is usually pretty fair. If things break, they give the manufacturers a chance to respond, and often have another follow up piece of content with the manufacturers.

On the two videos they’ve released so far, it seems like they’ve gone out of their way to be complimentary of Pole, mentioning how fast the bike they review rides compared to the Pole as a bench mark, or that it descends well, but not quite as good as the Pole. Seemed fishy to me.
  • 1 0
 @MarcusBrody: sorry, I meant a quote about how FAST Pole were.

 @iduckett: think you meant to say the test rider was raped by a pole and then killed by a slayer
  • 1 2
 @MarcusBrody: totally agree that Pole should be punished in the review for this. Still, as a consumer I want to know how the bike that I can buy would perform. I would therefore prefer a second check with the default production enduro parts and updated findings. The final scoring should remain the same regardless. Screwing up should be reflected in the scores. The same goes for the Manitou Mezzer fork that probably wasn't assembled correctly. Punish Manitou for sending a suboptimal fork, but do a teardown and check whether the reviewed sample is correct.
  • 2 0
 @Mac1987: I agree in general. I would still read a review. I suspect that the Field Test model and it's compressed time frame didn't allow for this though.

Given they have talked about the Pole a fair amount, I suspect that the buck to flat test was one of the later things they did. I wouldn't expect the other ride features to be too different with a lighter weight rear triangle. Did Pole just want a retest on the huck to flat?
  • 5 0
 @freestyIAM: at first I thought it was cool that they got out ahead to take the blame for their bike breaking. But I have to admit I didn't read past the headline. After reading Poles excuse, especially where they throw PB under the bus for sensationalizing it, I think they're response sucks Pole!

Or maybe something super custom... RM Slayer is out of my financial game. I can get Darkside/ Furious, a blingy fork and some more for the price of Slayer frameset, which is awfully overpriced

 @MarcusBrody: they say the 'wrong' rear triangle also impacted stiffness in the rear (cue jokes). I don't know whether they came up with this remark after 'the snappening'. Anyway, I would like to know how the bike performs with the stock part. The score can remain the same.

  • 2 0
 @freestyIAM: Idk. I didn't think the review was "scandalous". It frankly stated that the bike did well until the huck-to-flat test and that Pole chocked it up to a non-production rear triangle on the back. PB had reviewed the bike already, had a budget for filming, writing, and producing the review, and wasn't about to go back and do it all twice due to a mistake form the manufacturer. In order to stand by the review, they couldn't change the frame configuration without retesting EVERYTHING.

If they wanted to be scandalous, they wouldn't have titled the review "fastest trail bike" or gone through the whole review before mentioning the failure. Pole, it sounds like you're scandalizing and building up bad press when no one really cared in the first place.
  • 1 0
 @JohnnyVV: exactly. If the only reason to not buy a Pole was Leo's feeble attempt to deflect, people would shrug it off. But there are also many stories, including Nathan from The Path Podcast, where fully paid for, ordered bikes keep getting getting delayed, with responses from the company that are like talking to the soup nazi from Seinfeld. Definitely keeps me from ever considering buying what seems to be a really well thought out geo design.

 i can stand by the ridewrap option! i got a kit from them and it was the best purchase on my new bike i made so far! its not made for big hits, but those times you lean your bike on something or the people who hug their frames with their kneepads.
  • 5 0
 Yep, put a full custom RideWrap on my new bike I bought back in December 2018. Just sold that same bike for a premium because it looked brand new and was still 90% wrapped. I had quite a few scuffs and scratches on the wrap... none of them actually scratched the paint! I repaired a couple with heat, repaired a couple with extra pieces that ship in the box and just removed a couple shredded pieces before sale. (Buyer was very happy).

At the end of the day... the investment more than paid for itself. Also, during the the time I had the bike, found the wrap made keeping the bike clean and cleaning it easier. Seems like mud/dirt/etc doesn't stick to the product as easily as it does typical bike paint.

Installing the full custom product can be finicky depending on how anal you are. I was able to do mine on a fully stripped frame, but still took me about 3 days (couple hours a day) to get it perfect. There was definitely a learning curve as you get better at it as you go. You use a spray bottle to fully wet the pieces so you can remove and adjust as many times or as much as you need to until you get it right. By the end I could probably do a full bike in 1 to 2 hours. If you're not up for that, RideWrap now has "Certified Installer Shops" that will do it for you for for about $90 (CDN) I think?

 3M Scotchgard automotive clear vinyl tape works just as good, if not better than 'bike specific' protective tape and it's so much cheaper. No, I don't need vinyl cut specifically for my bike. I'll take a 2 inch roll and 4 inch roll for 3M Scotchgard automotive clear vinyl tape and cut them myself. I've covered 2 bikes and spent $35 on Amazon for a 2 and 4 inch roll of that stuff. Don't care if it looks pretty or not as long as it it does the job.

 Word. Used the same stuff. Cut lots of different sized rectangles to cover all the tubes. Not everything’s covered but every cable, rub spot or rock spray zone is. Didn’t use water (but surface was clean) and it’s still on the bike. For the money it was super effective, and fun! Honestly the thought of doing a full frame version sounds super annoying. I’d probably just go the same route in the future.

 Good on you. We're not saying there isn't more than one way to skin a cat, we think so long as you are protected that's a win!

 Its quite annoying how the PB touque is displayed here but when you go to have a better look it isn't available. Get it together Pinkbike if you want to sell your merch.
