A clever solution for securely fixing tire plugs: Crankbrothers Plug Mate Tire Plug Anchor Kit

February 18, 2026 by Andrew Waldera

Product news: With the new Plug Mate Tire Plug Anchor Kit, Crankbrothers is launching a semi-permanent repair solution for larger tubeless tire punctures and snakebites. Unlike conventional plugs, the special design is intended to prevent the plug from slipping or coming loose, even under extreme stress.

The new Plug Mate from Crankbrothers is a clever solution for securely fixing tire plugs. It was designed to stay firmly in place even under extreme conditions, such as hard impacts, landings, or braking maneuvers. Unlike conventional plugs that can slip or come loose, the Plug Mate features a unique, side-rotating design that anchors itself securely inside the tire.

Made of durable plastic, these anchors protect the rim and tire and, according to manufacturer Crankbrothers, are easier to install than conventional solutions. Each set contains 3 small and 3 large anchors, 10 thin and 5 thick repair plugs, and is compatible with most plug forks, including Crankbrothers. The Crankbrothers Plug Mate Tire Plug Anchor Kit is priced at €9,99.
