Subject: FW: Ragley Dropout with bullets
To: brant <him@shedfire.com>Thought you might like to see how things are coming along. The tubesets are already cut. We’ve just had to finish the programming and cutting of the cones. Should be shippable by mid-late next week.

Ragley Seatclamp – with spare plastic bit cos they always wear eventually.
P&A is us. With our “drilled for light weight” card too. We have to print 7000 of them, so hopefully we can use them for other stuff. This seatclamp comes with a spare plastic bit because no matter How good you do them, they do always wear out. Lever is nice and long, and has a Ragley logo on it too. Anyhow.

Adjustable wheelbase or singlespeedable.
Big tyres? Little tyre? Long stays? Sort stays? Rohloff? Gears? All covered with Lynskey’s dropout. So we’re using ’em on a couple of cool race bikes.

Dave H has got his – what about you?
Ragley Ti’s have been out for a few weeks now – Dave’s just sent us some pics of his, and his build details. Got one? Get in touch.
Ride got delayed due to wet weather. So rode last night in even worse condition on tight technical natural singletrack. Great fun! Corners briliantly, and climbs well, it’s just the engine that could do with being a bit fitter.
Plan to take it round Glentress on Sunday.

EN TEST REPORT – CARNEGIE – test pass
Carnegie is Ragley’s new 25degree sweep oversize riser bar. We did did a production run to spec, then picked a bar to test from the production run. Pass. So, along with other QC we do, we know they’re good to go.
We’re now finalising packaging (as we forgot) and they’ll be shipping soon.
Does your handlebar have an EN test pass?

Well this will probably be quite interesting
I design bikes according to what sort of riding I’m doing. I’ve been doing ubertech steep and silly stuff around Hebden Bridge for the last year or so, and so that’s how the first three frames we’ve did for Ragley came about.In a change to all of that, I’ve just entered the Kielder 100, which is the UK’s first 100mile single-loop, solo category race. It’s in about 8 weeks time, and I’m excitedly nervous about the whole thing already.
Really not sure what I’ll be riding yet. I think I’ll be on a Ragley Ti with a few equipment modifications, but I might go big wheels yet. Or rigid. And probably not singlespeed, but not entirely sure.
Last time I did this sort of distance was, according to various internet searches, 2001 – when I did Red Bull Solo 24hr. And did about 16 laps I recall. I’m not promising either, but it’s quite likely I’ll be wearing the very same, semi-legendary, white OF3 skinsuit too – with lashings of Kamillosan nipple cream 🙂
