Cable Routing detail
Rear brake can either run down the downtube, and along the chainstay, or under the top tube and down the underneath of the seatstay. Rear gear wraps around underside of seatstay for perfect routing.

Would an Avid Mechanical fit?
shedfire 11:51 am on July 14, 2009 | #
It’ll fit (with a 180mm) but requires a degree of fettling. Not ideal.
Wasn’t intended to, btw.

Does that apply to shimano mechanicals too?
shedfire 1:05 pm on July 14, 2009 | #
Yup. Probably moreso. They’re huge.

Have you a close up picture of the disc mount with the caliper attached?

I have a Shimano cable disc brake here. On the back of my daughters bike. It won’t fit.

ok ta, new brakes it is!

sorry to be a pain, but what brakes do fit?
shedfire 9:44 pm on July 14, 2009 | #
normal, hydraulic ones. not ones pulled with wires.
wors 10:05 pm on July 14, 2009 | #
nowt wrong with cables

I know which I’d choose out of mechanical or budget hydraulic disc brakes – mechanical every time for ease of use, tweakability and consistency.
Not that it makes much difference to me as I’ll be mostly kitting a new blue pig out with new stuff anyway.
Maybe something to bare in mind for a future “mass market” Ragley 100 – 120mm travel frame though – or are you fundamentally opposed to the idea on engineering grounds? …just interested.

I really don’t know if we’ll be doing a “mass market” Ragley frame to be honest. I’d never say never, but not in any rush.
I have a new dropout design for the singlespeed frame we’re working on. That might work with mechanicals, but that’d be by accident than by (intentional) design.

Shame about short travel frame. I think you’d clean up, especially when the Ragley brand establishes itself. But you know the market and where your interest and heart lies.

Oh we’ll be doing a short travel frame. Just not a mass market one.
god 9:58 am on July 15, 2009 | #
ahh, I get ya. my bad. I termed it “mass market” simply because most folk (the masses) tend to do general runabout xc on 100 – 120mm travel forks as opposed to bouncing over rock gardens and drops on 140mm travel forks. Cool, I think you’ll do really well with that.

When will short travel frames be made?
shedfire 2:22 pm on July 15, 2009 | #
3-4 months I’d have thought. Need to nail some specifics down.

Will their be steel shot travel and will there be size 14inch frames available.Cheers
