TMS Vortex 26" Frame 1070mm HS

TMS Vortex 26" Frame 1070mm HS

The 7 Compatibility Keys
Below you can find the main details you need to consider when building the bike around this frame:

- 1) Headset. Compatible with Integrated Headset 1 1/8" - 1.5". If you’d like to use a 1 1/8” diameter fork, you must install an adaptor for the bottom cup, available on our website.

- 2) Bashplate. This frame does not have any bashplate mounts. Therefore, installing a bashring is recommended.

- 3) Bottom Bracket. Compatible with 91 mm wide AS30 BBs like Crewkerz’s or Clean’s Press Fit 3P crankset.

- 4) Rear Brake. This frame has HS brake mounts, so be sure to use a rear brake of that type.

- 5) Chain tensioner. A Crewkerz, Clean or similar sprung tensioner must be used.

- 6) Rear hub. A 12 mm thru-axle rear hub with 135 mm spacing must be used. In case you’d like to install a hub with 129 mm spacing, you’d need to add a pair of 3 mm spacers.
Also, since this frame only has disc brake mounts, the rear hub must have disc brake mounts too.

- 7) Fork. The steerer tube on your fork must be long enough so that at least 2 mm of it remain above the top bolt of your stem’s steerer tube clamp.
To ensure this, you must add the length of the headtube (120 mm for this frame), plus the cups bits that sit outside the headtube, plus the headset spacers (if any) and/or dust cover sitting under the stem, plus the length of your stem’s steerer tube clamp. Once you’ve done this, you’ll be ready to know if your fork is long enough so that at least 2 mm of it remain above the top bolt of your stem’s steerer tube clamp.
