Featuring all steel construction, these training wheels are designed for kids bikes with a chainstay tube diameter of 1 1/4" or smaller, and they will hold up to 100 pounds.

Helpful Tips For Installation and Training Wheels Success:
- When setting up the training wheels, first inflate the rear tire to its maximum recommended tire pressure
- Install the training wheels so the training wheels are slightly off of the ground so the bike can be slightly tipped side to side. This slight tipping motion is important as this motion will help develop a riders sense of balance
- As the rider gains confidence with the wobble, slowly raise the training wheels little by little over time to increase the amount of side to side play and to reduce the riders dependence on the training wheels
- When the rider is able to ride without the training wheels touching the ground, then it is time to take the training wheels off
