Wanted to bump this back up. Just saw this on instagram, dynaplug now has a version that plugs the hole and re-pressurizes the tire at the same time. This combined with the corsa speeds makes what might be not only the fastest tire, but also the fastest flat repair.
I don't know what you mean by re-pressurize at the same time. I didn't see that in either link you posted. And wouldn't make much sense given that there's already a compact, reliable, and fast way to reinflate with CO2. Are you confusing the fact that the cylindrical toolkit case *looks* like a CO2 cartridge with it actually being CO2?
That said, I got the Dynaplug kit a few months ago for my road tubeless, and it seems to work well on my Schwalbe Pro One tubeless, though only a sample size of two flats. Both flats were sealed by sealant, but I plugged for a more permanent fix. It seems pretty legit.
I haven't tried it on Corsa Speed yet (no flats), but I'd be a *little* worried. The plug seems to get purchase in the casing/tread, and I worry about how thin the CS casing is, e.g. whether the plug has enough material to bond with. I may never try it on my CS tires, though, since as a pure TTer I don't carry any flat kits while racing (my race is done if I flat), and I'd fix it with a proper internal patch after the race just to be really sure. There is some risk of the metal tip of the plug ripping the rim tape, etc, and I just don't want those metal tips in my race tires.
So far I think they're a great training ride tool, though.
