Customer Reviews
We love our frames, but we’re always keen to see what people who’ve bought them think. Chain Reaction Cycles have a reviews database, and we’re starting to get some feedback on there.
Heres the Blue Pig reviews – we were sorry a few slightly ropey welded frames got out in the first batch, but from feedback we’ve got that nailed now – if anyone’s unhappy, get in touch.
And here’s the mmmbop reviews – all sounding positive.
If you’ve got a Ragley product and want to give feedback, then please add it to one of the Ragley products on this page (wherever you bought it from!).

Ed made a vid today
Went out on my own for a play in the snow on my Ragley Ti in Ragley Woods with the video camera. I’m really glad now that I bought one that’s waterproof and shockproof. Wore knee pads, shame I landed on my face!ragley

Carnegie’s – “The Top Non-29″er Specific Product Of 2009″
A rather convoluted award title – but we’re chuffed…
This is something a bit new for Twenty Nine Inches, but many of you know that I have been reviewing some non-specific 29′er product here and most of that being the “alt bars” that I feel a lot of 29″er riders gravitate towards. Not only that, but I do use a lot of gear that is not 29″er specific. To that end, I thought I would give props to my favorite non-29″er specific product of 2009. No surprise here, it is a handle bar. The nod goes to Ragley Bikes “Carnegie’s Bar”
Ragley Bikes is the brain child of Brant Richards, who was also the designer of some well known “alt bars” for On One. Brant tweaked out a previous design and made something new that really hits the nail on the head for technical riders that want more sweep than a standard riser bar offers. I took to these bars straight away and never looked back. The added comfort, control, and stiffness in technical situations was noticeable for me. The sweep design was perfectly drawn out so that you don’t need an excessively long stem, nor do you cause undo stress on the stem faceplate with excess leverage due to a ton of back sweep. No, this bar really strikes a great balance between a riser and an “alt bar” that no other bar really hits.
Ragley Bikes “Carnegie’s Bar” will also be coming out in a couple new versions, and also a carbon version is being tested here now as well. So look for more on that coming soon.

Here’s Nial on the Ragley Ti sending it at Storthes Hall downhill tracks. The snow was down and the ground was frozen hard. Nial is 12.

Yeah – I know it looks like shit, but there’s method in my madness. 198g. On the way to Guitar Ted.
This is the very first production weight bar out of the new carbon Carnegie bar mold – we’re working with an innovative layup procedure using different cloth type to most other bar manufacturers, to give a proper mountain-durable bar, rather than something that’s just good for testing in the lab. We’re interested in how it performs in lab tests, but we want it to be durable so we can replicate those tests after a year of riding and still get a pass.
Production is still some way off, surface finish detailing is next on our agenda. Ugly? Well – they always were anyhow.

Strong placing for Ragley in STW Awards
Yeah, OK, so we didn’t win. BUT! The Blue Pig got a glorious 2nd place to Orange’s Blood in the “Best New Bike” class, beating Specialized Epic Marathon – that’ll do us!Additionally, 18 Bikes and Chain Reaction Cycles (both Ragley dealers) and Ed Oxley (who is one of our development riders) won their categories. So we can kind of say we sort of won overall. Probably.
Thanks to everyone that voted for us!
