Ryder is an accessories brand many South African cyclists will be familiar with. The local brand has been a staple on bike shop shelves and checkout counters for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1996 around the production of water bottles the Ryder range later expanded to include helmets and puncture protection. Today Ryder provides a broad range of good quality, well-priced cycling accessories and continue to innovate with the likes of the recently released Slug Plug<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While like most cycling products the bulk Ryder\u2019s manufacturing takes place in the east, their products are assembled and packaged right here in Cape Town before being shipped off to stores around South Africa and abroad.<\/p>\n

Many of the Ryder products are packaged by a team in Cape Town.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some product picks from the Ryder range<\/h2>\n

We’ve taken a look at a small selection of Ryder products from the current range. Over the years they’ve broadened their offering considerably to now include front & rear lights, pedals, pumps, computers, bottle cages, tyre sealant, tools and much more. All their products carry a lifetime guarantee against defects.<\/p>\n

The Ryder Airtank 2.0 has an aluminium barrel with an integrated chamber that can be pressured to release air with a switch to seat tubeless tyres on a rim. There is a large pressure gauge at the top of the pump with a sturdy steel foot base that balances the pump well.<\/p>\n

The Airtank can be used as a regular floor pump with the pressure switch in open mode, but as the name suggests its selling point is the built in air tank. Once charged up it delivers a good dose of air which comfortably seated a 29×2.25 mountain bike tyre in our testing. The metal valve interface is reversible to support Schrader or Presta and maintains a good connection while in use.<\/p>\n

Price: R 1,300.00<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ryder Digital Floor Pump<\/h2>\n

\n\"ccs-2-0-38009200-1543486195.jpg\"<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Digital floor pump features a pressure gauge with a digital display and a single head that fits both Schrader and Presta without any adjustments. The gauge will display either bar or PSI and display to two decimal places.<\/p>\n

The pressure gauge was accurate with predictable measurements across bikes. The dual valve head worked well on clean valves but at higher pressures (going full roadie on the narrow tyres) or where the valve had the slightest blockage the head quickly lost grip under the added pressure where other pumps might not. Suppose the lesson is to clean those valves.<\/p>\n
