Rockman Ash v2 20" Frame

Rockman Ash v2 20" Frame

Rockman Ash v2 20” bike trials frame. Updated version with re-designed bashplate mounts and head tube, new graphics and optimized tube thickness that improve overall performance!

Description and materials
- New Rockman Ash v2 20” bike trials frame, the successor to the popular Rockman Ash frame.
- Features multiple updates that help improve performance and increase reliability even more.
- New head tube, now with two large cut-outs that save more weight without compromising reliability.
- The mini-bashplate mounts have been re-located and now require a smaller bashplate, which reduces the chance of debilitating the BB tube.
- Main tubes have a new thickness distribution in order to improve strength, stiffness and overall performance.
- They also have a slightly triangular shape, which helps gain welding surface at the ends, while also increasing resistance against dents and cracks.
- Tapered 1 1/8” - 1.5” head tube, 120mm long, with 2 large cut-outs that help save weight.
- The head tube has is gusseted to the down tube, to prevent cracks at this critical area.
- The seat tube has been replaced by two CNC machined side plates, which allow for considerably increased sideways stiffness and welding surface for the seat stays.
- 68mm wide threaded bottom bracket shell, compatible with standard 1.37”x24tpi BBs.
- Features 4-bolt mini bashplate mounts on the bottom bracket shell (only compatible with Rockman’s Ash V2 bashplate).
- The chain stays are reinforced thanks to a CNC-machined gusset that helps increase stiffness.
- 160mm Post Mount disc brake mounts, CNC machined from one piece and integrated with the left dropout.
- Compatible with 116mm rear hubs and snail cams.

The 7 Compatibility Keys
Below you can find the main aspects to consider when building this frame:

- 1) Headset. Compatible with 1 1/8” – 1.5” tapered forks. If you’d like to use a standard 1 1/8” diameter fork, you must install an appropriate adaptor.

- 2) Bashplate. Compatible with Rockman’s Ash V2 bashplate:

· Distance between front and rear holes: 24mm.
· Lateral distance between holes: 41mm.

- 3) Bottom Bracket. A 68mm-wide bottom bracket with standard 1.37x24T thread must be used on this frame, therefore you can install conventional and BB30 threaded BB’s (Try-All, Hashtagg, Bonz, etc.).

- 4) Rear Brake. A Post Mount rear disc brake must be used. Post Mount brake calipers sit onto the brake mounts, instead of being bolted sideways (as is the case on IS calipers).

- 5) Chain tensioner. Snail cams must be used.

- 6) Rear hub. A 116mm rear hub must be used. In case you’d like to install a rear hub with 110mm spacing, then you must add 3mm snail cams to each side of the hub, in order to result in the total of 116mm this frame requires.

- 7) Fork. The steerer tube on your fork must be long enough so that at least 2mm 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 (120mm 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 2mm of it remain above the top bolt of your stem’s steerer tube clamp.
