The Ryder Slug Plug tool is an ultra-compact and safe capsule system that offers a tubeless tire repair kit for a mere $10.

The tool consists of a plastic handle that acts as a Presta valve core remover and has an integrated steel piercing needle that holds and inserts the tubeless tire patching plugs/slugs. It includes a set of five thick and five thin plugs and a plastic cover that keeps the dirt out and prevents injury from the sharp needle.

We first saw the tool at the Interbike show this year, and it’s now being distributed by BTI to your LBS. For additional information refer to www.rydercycling.co.za.

The plugs/slugs are stored in a ploy envelope to keep them clean and pliable, and if desired you can preload one on the needle beforehand to make a quick repair.

It’s pretty simple to repair a hole in your tubeless tire. Just open up the tool, if not already preloaded, place a thick or thin slug on the needle, insert the needle into the hole until the handle bottoms out and slowly extract the tool leaving the slug in place. Note, the slug is longer than the needle, and the slug ends flare up into slots in the handle.
