A ROSAT PSPC image of the galaxy cluster Abell 2241 has been obtained, showing X-ray emission from the intracluster medium and from individual objects. The brightness distribution of the cluster gas is used to assess the physical conditions at the location of two tailed radio galaxies (in A2241E and A2241W, at different redshifts). Together with radio and X-ray information on the two galaxies themselves the results are of relevance to the question of energy equipartition in radio sources.
