Works, but hard fit.

These training wheels work great. I am using them for my 60 pound special needs son who just upgraded to a 20 inch bike. Heres the problem...I misread the item description. These training wheels will not fit a bike chainstay unless it is smaller than 1 inch. My sons bike was 1 inch exactly. Honestly, I dont know where a childs bike exists that has a chainstay less than 1 inch.

We were able to modify the training wheels by bending the lower prong outwards (making it useless). Doing this enabled us to fit the piece on the chainstay and kept the upper prong functional. To make sure the piece stayed secure to the bike we used tie straps. Worked like a charm!

Great set of wheels

These training wheels are great! The wheels that came on my sons bike lasted about one month, but hes riding it a lot more with these new wheels. I highly recommend these for any size or age person.

Training wheels

Sold a new bike to middle-aged woman who had brain surgery and now had balance problem. She was determined to ride a bike with her husband and we found the only set of wheels that would fit a 26" bike. Made her very happy and is helping her confidence. While this lady was just under the weight limit for this item I had to adjust it a few times as it was straining under the weight when she was leaning to one side or the other. Either the weight limit is slightly exaggerated or it should max at 24".
This product served the purpose in this case and owners understand the limitations but were happy with the product as it accomplished what she wanted and didnt have to resort to a trike.

Good but...

Very good product. the only thing that be aware that it only fit certain bikes. It did not fit my kids bike properly but I still put it on and it is solid. My kid is big and it takes his weight with no problem. The previous ones that came with the bike broke.

Perfect training wheels for older child

I bought these wheels for my grandaughter who is afraid to ride a two wheel bike. She is nine and these wheels are strong enough for her bike and she feels confident now when she rides. Hopefully, in a few months, she will graduate and start riding without them.

Excellent

My little boy loves riding his bike! I think by next week he maybe riding within out them and I could pass it along to my nephew. Reading the previous reviews is what made me buy them. Thanks everyone!

hardy quality

I had to cut the support strips to fit to the child bike but the heavy duty quality was what I wanted and these fit the bill.

just what I was looking for

These training wheels were just what I was looking for for my granddaughters 16" bike. Easy to install and adjust the height, and very sturdy.

Just the product I needed to help my wife become a "biker". She had never learned how to ride a bike as a kid. These "Wheels" put her on the trail in no time. Thanks for helping a dream come true.

The Best Training Wheels Available!!

My son is not very well balanced yet and we needed training wheels that would not bend or allow him to easily tip over. We went through three different brands before we found these and they are excellent, very strong and durable. You can count on these training wheels not to bend even under full body weight.

This was my first online purchase ever! I needed to get better training wheels for my granddaughters bike, and I wasnt disappointed. Shes now able to ride with confidence, and enjoy the experience. I recommend the product to anyone who needs/wants it, and Ill seriously consider using the same company when I need to make another bicycle-related purchase.
