In late 2018, we had a look at the Ryder Slug Plug, a compact plug tool within a safe storage capsule. This year Ryder announced more products from the Ryder Innovation stable which extend on the range of compact, convenient, and safe storage solutions for on bike tools and accessories.
Ryder Slyder Storage System
The plastic sleeves not only provide easily accessible on-bike storage for ready-to-use CO2 canisters, but also protect your fingers from the inevitable freeze during use.
The sleeve slides onto the base plate easily, but lock into place securely once loaded with a canister or Slug Plug. For on bike storage that lets you unload pockets and replace those fiddly old metal canister holders, the Ryder Slyder is a no-brainer.
It is worth noting that the design might not fit all frame tube shapes (e.g. flat, wide tubes) and may require a spacer or alternative placement.

Additionally, within the plastic body of the tool, a spare core is housed. Again, if you’ve been stuck in the middle of nowhere with a blocked/broken/lost valve core, this might just be a life saver (or at least a day saver).
On the reverse end of the tool is a disc pad spreader. What it does lack is the sort of safe capsule stowage as we see on the Slug Plug.

With the Slyder system, the Slug Plug becomes even more accessible and can be stashed alongside the CO2 canister you’ll likely need in a tyre emergency.

Within the Ryder Innovation line-up and Slyder eco-system, we’re seeing some thoughtful, innovative, and well-priced products in a space that doesn’t often get much attention. We’re keen to see what else the Ryder Innovation stable has up their sleeves.
