Frame Pad sizing

Get a Great Fit:

How to measure your BMX bike for frame pads:

  • Wrap a measuring device around the top tube to get Circumference (include the brake cable in the measurement)
  • Divide the Circumference by 3.14 to get Diameter (Math is Optional)
  • Use the chart to determine best top tube fit
