Light-weight racing parts since 1990

The X-12 hubs are compatible with both Shimano E-Thru and Syntace X-12 type frames. The lock-nut is 142mm with a 12mm bore. The frame-wheel rigidity is much better than that created with traditional quick-release. Urano rear hubs can be modified from 10mm thru-axle quick release to a X-12 system just by changing the external axle caps.
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 slotted type forks and frames. A reduction in flexibility of around 20-25% can be calculated with respect to traditional quick releases
FRM freewheels turn on two bearings, one of which has a double row of ball bearings. The engagement is created with the use of four steel pawls each one activated by it’s own spring. The toothed ring onto which the pawls are activated is machined from titanium or steel depending on the hub model
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 makes the assembly and disassembly of the discs much easier
