TD-1 29er rigid Ti prototypes
This is a Ragley project to design a different sort of endurance (24hr) race bike. Twinklydave who has been riding for “me” for a while now only ever runs rigid forks, so I figured a rigid only bike would make sense.
Lynskey made these samples – we’re planning alloy and titanium versions. Maybe steel too for the more recreational version (steel is a bit heavy to be competitive in the weight stakes for a race bike, but nice for trail riding of course).
We are testing 2 head angles on these samples. Front one has 72deg, back one has 70deg. The front one works with a 440mm short rake fork, the back one, with a longer raked fork. We’ll see.
Adjustable wheelbase with very long bolts. That needs sorting. Might make adjustment slot shorter for production as I don’t think anyone needs that much adjustment. Bet someone copies this before I get chance.
Dropouts come with SS option.
Three finger chainstay plate is a good idea for 29ers and protects against chainsuck in muddy races.
Lynskey slot out behind the back of the downtube to save weight.
The BB is also slotted and drilled.
Massive downtube ovalised to support BB area.
Having a cuddle.

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.
