What It Is
The Ryder Slyder Slugplug system is a modular puncture-repair setup made of two parts:
- Slyder (Single or Dual mount) → a frame-mounted quick-access storage system
- Slug Plug tool (Single or Dual version) → a tubeless tyre repair plug tool
Together, they give you fast access to tubeless repair tools while riding, without digging into a saddle bag.
Key Features
- On-bike mounting system (under bottle cage, frame, or seatpost)
- Quick-slide release mechanism for instant access
- Compatible with:
- Slug Plug tubeless repair tool
- CO₂ cartridges (in some setups)
- Weather-protected sleeve system
- Slug Plug includes:
- Preloaded “bacon strip” plugs
- Dual plug sizes for different punctures
- Sealed caps to keep dirt out
- Designed for MTB, gravel, road, and commuting
Single vs Dual (Simple Difference)
-
Slyder Single
- Carries 1 item (Slug Plug OR CO₂ OR tool)
- Compact, lightweight, minimal setup
- Best for MTB/gravel minimalists
-
Slyder Dual
- Carries 2 items (e.g. CO₂ + Slug Plug)
- Faster full repair setup on the bike
- Better for long rides / racing / remote trails
Slug Plug Tool (What it does)
The Slug Plug is a tubeless tyre repair tool used when a hole is too big for sealant alone.
It:
- Inserts rubber plugs (“bacon strips”) into the tyre
- Seals punctures quickly without removing the wheel
- Works on MTB, gravel, and road tubeless tyres
- Often includes different plug thicknesses for different tear sizes
Pros
- Extremely fast access in emergencies
- Keeps repair tools secure and always on the bike
- Clean, weather-protected storage system
- Works well with tubeless setups (MTB & gravel)
- Reduces need to carry bulky saddle bag tools
- Dual system is very efficient for race situations
Cons
- More expensive than basic plug kits
- Extra mounting system adds slight complexity
- Not necessary if you rarely run tubeless tyres
- CO₂ cartridges are still consumable (must be replaced)
- Can add minor clutter to frame depending on setup
Who It’s Suitable For
- MTB riders running tubeless tyres
- Gravel riders doing long-distance rides
- Trail and enduro riders
- Cyclists racing XC or endurance events
- Riders who want self-sufficiency on the trail
Who Should Use It
- Riders who want instant puncture repair without stopping long
- Gravel and MTB cyclists riding far from support
- Competitive riders where time matters
- Anyone already running tubeless setups regularly
Bottom Line
The Ryder Slyder + Slugplug system is a smart on-bike tubeless repair solution that prioritizes speed and accessibility. It’s most valuable for riders who want to be fully self-sufficient on longer MTB or gravel rides where punctures need to be fixed quickly and efficiently.
