BMX parts are often in great demand by BMX owners simply because the very nature of BMX requires frequent part replacements. Fortunately at bmx.co.uk we can offer all these parts at value for money prices.

The first reason that new BMX parts will need to be fitted is because of damage to existing parts. Despite being built for strength, BMX bikes will inevitably suffer as a result of the high impact nature of the sport. Tyre rims can buckle, seat posts can warp, and even the BMX frame itself can snap; and all far more frequently than occurs with conventional bike riding.

For this reason many riders will often adopt a ‘better to be safe than sorry’ approach and seek to replace BMX parts with higher quality components even though their existing parts are still in good working order; replacing a part today with a quality branded part designed to last longer can be a preferable option than taking a chance on the failure of a component whilst performing a dangerous feat.

A third reason for changing BMX parts is to try and improve handling and performance. Many new parts, such as frames and handlebars are constantly being introduced into the marketplace. Often these parts will be designed by professional riders who are affiliated to a BMX manufacturer. Some riders will immediately be impressed by the specification and seek to purchase the part; others may purchase it out of curiosity or because of the track record of the company concerned.

Finally, the ‘look’ of a new part can be a huge draw for a BMX enthusiast. Many components are designed by professionals with a keen sense of projecting not only the right image for a company but also the right image for themselves. In a sport where amateurs are as equally image-conscious as the professionals, many BMX riders will seek to capitalize on these aesthetics for their own benefit.
