types of frame on BMX

types of frame on BMX
Flatland


Variety of freestyle riding performed on flat ground as opposed to ramps.




High-Tensile

Steel Less-expensive, heavier form of steel frame material, often found in lower-priced bicycles.



Freestyle

Trick-oriented riding with specialized frame and component designs. Flatland (as the name implies) and vert (on wooden ramps, often shaped like half-pipes) are the two subcategories of freestyle bicycling.



Gussett

Frame reinforcement, generally welded on at high-stress joints.



Pegs

Cylindrical attachments on a BMX bike’s axles used for grinding on ramps and rails and also for standing on for a variety of freestyle tricks.



Threadless

A threadless fork has a smooth, unthreaded top (known as a steerer tube) that allows handlebar stems to be changed more easily than older, threaded forks permitted. Most modern bicycles offer threadless forks, which don’t offer major performance enhancements, but are welcome for those who like to do mechanical work on their bikes themselves.



Vert

Short for vertical, referring to the vertical tops of trick ramps.
