BMX Frames & Parts

Comprehending Your BMX Frame

The frame of a BMX is the core of your entire setup. Acquiring a new frame can significantly transform the overall feel of your BMX.

The geometry of a BMX frame involves several dimensions to consider when selecting a new frame. This encompasses the length of the top tube, angles of the head tube and seat tube, seat tube height, and length of the chainstay. For each of these, there are numerous factors to think about, but they can be succinctly boiled down to two main considerations: first, ensure that the frame you purchase is compatible with your existing parts, and second, select a frame that enhances your riding enjoyment.

Within this section, you'll also locate our bottom brackets and headsets. The bottom bracket serves to connect the cranks to the frame. It’s crucial to verify compatibility with your frame to ensure a seamless fit. For instance, a MID bottom bracket is designed to fit only frames that accommodate this specific component.

The headset consists of bearings located at the frame's front, linking the frame to the fork. There are several headset sizes available, and it is essential to confirm it will fit the fork steerer tube.

Given the frame's central role in the BMX, changing it requires reassembling the entire bike from scratch. Should you require assistance with this task, we recommend watching our brief video on How to Build a BMX Bike.
