BMX Frames & Parts

Knowing Your BMX Frame

Your BMX frame is central to your entire configuration. Replacing it allows you to transform the overall feel of your BMX.

BMX frame geometry involves several diverse dimensions that must be considered when acquiring a new frame. These dimensions include top tube length, head tube angle, seat tube angle and height, and chainstay length. Among the many facets to evaluate, two crucial points stand out: firstly, ensure that any frame you select is compatible with your current parts, and secondly, choose a frame that enhances your riding enjoyment.

Within this category, you will also discover bottom brackets and headsets. The bottom bracket links the cranks to the frame. Remember, compatibility with your frame is essential to ensure everything fits together seamlessly. For instance, a MID bottom bracket is compatible only with frames designed to accommodate this specific part.

The headset, a bearing system located at the front of the frame, connects the frame to the fork. There are various headset sizes, so it is crucial to confirm that it fits your fork steerer tube.

As the frame is integral to the BMX as a whole, changing it necessitates reassembling the entire BMX from the ground up. If you need assistance with this process, watch our brief video on How to Build a BMX Bike.
