Ragley Ti-re clearance + caliper position
I’ve put a lot of work into the chainstay area on the Ragley’s, and here’s a vid to show the clearance we’re getting. It’s the best I’ve seen of any titanium production frame.
Ovalising tubing is heavily frowned upon by Lynskey, apparently leading to failure in fatigue, unless you start with very soft tubing!

Is this the same Lynskeys who used to advocate oval and even octagonal tubing when they were running Litespeed? They said that cold-working tubes was great.

I thought the on-one ti29 had ovalised tubing? or at least “not round” tubing…

I guess I should have written “heavily ovalised” tubing is frowned up.

Great looking frame! Is there enough room to use a bb7 as the rear brake?

Not tried yet. Will have a look today. Might be with a 185mm rotor.
