BMX Frames & Parts

Grasping the Significance of Your BMX Frame

The core of your BMX setup is its frame. Changing the frame can transform the whole experience of riding your BMX.

When discussing BMX frame geometry, it involves considering various dimensions when selecting a new frame. These include the length of the top tube, the angles of the head tube and seat tube, as well as the seat tube height and chainstay length. While there are multiple aspects to consider for each, two main points should guide your decision: ensure the frame is compatible with your current parts, and choose one that enhances your riding pleasure.

In this section, we've also got bottom brackets and headsets available. The bottom bracket connects the cranks to the frame. It is crucial to ensure your bottom bracket is compatible with your frame for a seamless fit. For instance, a MID bottom bracket fits only on frames designed for this particular type.

The headset consists of bearings located at the front of the frame, linking it to the fork. There are various headset sizes, and it's important to verify that it matches the fork steerer tube.

As the frame is pivotal to the BMX structure, changing it requires you to reconstruct the entire BMX from the ground up. If you need guidance on how to proceed, we offer a quick video tutorial on How to Build a BMX Bike.
