[Closed] Ragley TD-1

Rather than being a 'trend', it's designed around a 440mm rigid fork, so fitting a much longer suspension fork would bugger the handling which would be a shame cos it handles brilliantly.

Why would you want to do it?

Do as Zammo commands

Raises the BB half an inch and slackens angles by 1.5deg. What can go wrong?

Mild possibility of cancer?

Only if you don't wear a c0ndom while doing it.

If I designed frames and people insisted that they knew best and kept on ignoring my advice I'd eventually get pretty pissed.

Summer Season - short forks? bollocks lets put some mahoosive ones on, it'll be loads better....

MMMpig - 50mm stem? bollocks that'll look weird, I'll stick a 90mm one on instead...

TD-1 - Rigid forks? Nah, I think it'll be miles better with suspension...

Why do people decide they want a "different" frame and then try and turn it back into the norm?

(To be fair though, if I designed frames they'd be crap.)

Still no one admitting they have a TD-1 with bouncy forks though 😆

Headtube rips off when landing a boom gnarly jump?

I can see trying to use a cheap frame for something it was designed for, ie. sticking 140mm forks on a scandal.

But spending over a grand on a frame and then compromising performance is just silly.

It handles brilliantly as it is. If you want to run sus buy a different frame!
