E-Thru type frames use X-12 (142mm) rear hubs with 12mm thru-axles. The thru-axle is supplied with 

the frame. In general, E-Thru type frames are supplied with a Shimano quick release thru-axle which 

can be replaced by the FRM Task E-Thru for a weight saving of 47g. 

The X-12 hubs are compatible with both X-12 and E-Thru type frames. They have a lock-nut of 

142mm with a 12mm bore. The frame-wheel rigidity is exceptionally better than that created with 

traditional quick-release. Our rear Urano hubs can be modified from 5mm quick release compatible to 

a 10mm quick release thru-axle or even to a X-12 system just by changing the external axle caps. 

The Press-Fit type bottom brackets use plastic bearing cups for cranks with 24-25mm axles. MTB 

Press-Fit bottom brackets are 89,5mm (symmetrical) or 92mm (asymmetrical) wide. FRM carbon 

fibre frames feature a 89,5mm Press-Fit bottom bracket. Careful attention should be paid to the crankset 

installation manual for correct use of the supplied spacers. 

Traditional type quick release with 5mm axles have been the standard for road and MTB use for decades. 

Made with steel or titanium axles, they are the lightest system available to fix wheels onto a frame. 

The FRM SK10-Team quick release with titanium axles only weight 48g. per set. Perfect for road bike or 

26” front suspended MTB use. 

Thru-axle type quick release are increasingly used in MTB, particularly for 29er use as larger wheels 

create a much higher torque on forks and frames. The thru-axle quick release, with 9mm front and 

10mm rear aluminium axles are used with traditional type forks and frames and hubs with 9mm front 

and 10mm rear bores. A reduction in flexibility of around 20-25% can be calculated with respect to 

traditional quick releases. 

FRM freewheels turns on two bearings, one of which has a double row of ball bearings. The engagement 

is created with the use of three steel pawls each one activated by it’s own spring. The toothed 

ring onto which the pawls are activated is machined from titanium.

MTB | 2012 

FRM aluminium frames feature a threaded BSA 68mm wide type bottom bracket. 

The FRM Urano hubs have been designed following the Shimano Center-Lock concept whilst using 

normal six-hole discs. Any six-hole disc is inserted onto a support with pins rather than threaded bores 

for the six bolts. A lock-ring is then screwed on to block the disc into position. This system facilitates 

the assembly and disassembly of the discs. 

Post-Mount type brake caliper assembly has, already for a number of years now, taken the place of 

the old International Standard on forks whilst on frames this change-over is taking place now. The 

FRM Anakin, Galaxy and 8HP Full Suspended use the Post-Mount standard for 160mm discs in 2012. 

The brake caliper is fixed directly to the frame without the use of an adaptor. 

The CX-Ray wheel spokes are bladed for optimised aerodynamics. The driving torque from the cogs to 

the tyre is better than that of traditional round spokes. The mechanical characteristics are greater, with 

respect to the double-butted spokes from which they derive, due to the effect of the cold forging. 

The International Standard system for fixing brake calipers has been replaced by the newer Post- 

Mount system on front forks for a number of years now whilst it still has a solid base on frames, 

particularly those made from aluminium. The 8HP Front suspended frame uses the I.S. standard for 

assembly with 160mm and 140mm discs. 

QR15 type forks are a valid alternative to traditional forks with slotted drop-outs for an increased 

tortional rigidity which leads to a more precise and secure drive. The QR15 axle with 15mm diameter 

is supplied with the fork. The QR15 axles can be either of the quick release variety or screw type with 

allen head. The QR15 axle supplied with FRM forks is of the screw type to reduce the weight to the 

minimum possible. 

The Sapim wheel spokes are double-butted for weight reduction without compromising their resistance 

to traction or stress. The cold forging process increases the elasticity of the spoke evenly. 

Tubular rims are not very common for general MTB use due to the problem of tyre flats. There is a 

much more vast request on the X-Country circuit due to the presence of technical zones where it is 

possible to change wheels. The FRM tubular wheels, both for 26” and for 29”, are the lightest ever 

produced with aluminium rims. 

The FRM fork crown is produced for the 11/8” standard. A carbon/aluminium sandwich system is 

used to produce the steerer with base diameter of 30mm which joins to the 28,6mm diameter of the 

upper part of the tube. 

The FRM CU2-M18 mounts two chainrings compatible with both 9sp and 10sp chains. We closely 

studied our chainring pattern combinations long before the two most important component producers 

did so and they have, in some way, conformed to our standards. For 26” bikes we offer the following 

combinations: 42-27 and 40-27t. For 29” bikes we offer: 38-24 38-25 and 36-22t. 

The FRM fork crown is produced for the new 1,5” Taper standard. The steerer tube base has a 

diameter of 40mm which joins to a diameter of 28,6mm in the upper part of the tube. The tube is lathe 

worked from a bar of 7075 (Ergal) aluminium. 

The FRM Air-Way XC Super Race (ex Full Carbon) features a hollow carbon fibre brace. The carbon fibre 

structure increases the torsional rigidity by 12% with respect to the aluminium brace, whilst simultaneously 

reducing the weight by approx. 50g. 

This symbol indicates all the FRM products where some part of the component is made in Titanium: 

hardware, quick release axles, freewheel toothed rings etc. The titanium used is always grade 9 with 

6AL-4V code.

The top of the range rims XMD299 29er, XMD333 26” & 29er, XMD309 Tubular 26” & 29er feature 

welded joints. The welding is necessary in the presence of very thin wim walls, whilst the XMD388 

features a thick enough wall profile to allow a sleeved joint. The welded joint offers a greater stability
