Tyre fit on a TD-1

shedfire — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 06:59:28 +0000

We get asked sometimes…

Loads of room for a 2.25 with the sliders right up to the front, wouldn’t go any bigger or mud clearance might become an issue.

You won’t get tyre rub on the frame, even when really stomping. I can get the front mech to touch the (2.25″) tyre, just, in granny ring (and obviously riding SS you won’t have a front mech to care about!), but it won’t get near the frame unless you’ve got really REALLY flexy wheels!

Couple of pics attached to give an idea of clearance/how far forward the sliders are (sorry about the silly large size)

Ragley Seminar at Bristol Hotlines show

shedfire — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 09:03:04 +0000

Hotlines are our distributors in the UK, and they have eschewed the typical bike show in favour of regional “roadshows” where we turn up in key cities around the UK and put our own show on, rather than pay the really ludicrous amounts that national show organisers charge. Truly, we can do four shows in four cities for less than the cost of one show in London. It’s nuts.

Last night we were in Bristol, and had our first “Ragley Seminar”, a nice event – 20-30 people sat around on chairs (we nearly ran out, and people were standing up) listening to me talk about how I ended up here (in life terms, not the M62, M6, M5…) and some Q&A’s about everything from hydroformed tubing molds, to patterns (oh, no, patents, sorry), to “the biggest rip-off in the bike industry”. It was good fun, seemed to go down well, and we’ve got another planned for the 17th November in Manchester.

More details on that show when we’ve a location – if anyone has any details of any nice exhibition space (3-3500sq ft) in Manchester area, let us know.

Best Ragley review ever – yeah, we think he gets it…

“The Ti Ragley though – feck me what a bike! Insolent like a teenager in puberty and as randy as one on heat. It’s a ‘take me by the scruff of the neck, get right over my front, push my face into the dirt you mother fu**er and absolutely wring seven bells of sh*t out of my scrawny, tight, stiff titanium arse’ kind of bike. It’s a 19 year old with all the soft bits still taught as a drum but smooth when you climb onboard; a slip sliding, sh*t spitting, sideways sha**ing ragger of a bike and it’s fecking brilliant.”
