BMX Frames & Parts

Grasping the Importance of Your BMX Frame

The BMX frame stands as the centrepiece of your entire setup. By acquiring a new frame, you can transform the overall feel of your BMX.

BMX frame geometry encompasses several dimensions that must be assessed when selecting a new frame. These include the top tube length, head tube angle, seat tube angle and height, as well as the chainstay length. Each dimension offers various considerations, but they can be boiled down to two main points: firstly, ensure that any frame you choose is compatible with your existing parts, and secondly, select a frame designed to provide a pleasurable riding experience.

Within this category, you will also come across our bottom brackets and headsets. The bottom bracket links the cranks to the frame. It’s crucial to remember that this component must be compatible with your frame to ensure seamless integration. For instance, a MID bottom bracket will only fit a frame designed for that specific component.

The headset, a bearing system located at the front of the frame, serves to connect the frame to the fork. There are a variety of headset sizes, and it's imperative to ensure compatibility with the fork steerer tube.

Given the frame's pivotal role within the entire BMX, opting to replace it necessitates reassembling the entire bike from the ground up. If assistance is required, watch our brief video on How to Build a BMX Bike.
