Unreliable

My son was not very happy with product. We needed training wheels that would not bend or allow him to easily tip over. they did not do the job. They are frachile and unreliabe brand. I would recoment anybody to buy them.

Very durable! Works great!

These training wheels worked great! Bought them for my 9 year old son. They were the first ones that didn't buckle under his weight! He learned to ride on his own within a week! I would highly recommend them!

Check your frame size first

Though not mentioned on this site, the box reads loudly across the front that it only works "with a 3/4" or smaller rear frame." Looks like it would have been heavy-duty enough for my son...but his bike's frame is larger. Be sure to measure first!

Just what we needed!

My nine-year-old son finally decided he was ready to learn to ride a bike. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find training wheels locally to fit a 24-inch bike. A bike shop told me it would cost $100 for training wheels to fit a 24-inch bike. When I got home, I hopped on Amazon and found these in no time. These do the trick, and he is happily riding around with no problems. Bought a second set for a 20-inch bike for my six-year-old. Very pleased.

wald 742 training wheels

These training wheels have helped my grandson ride his bike. They are heavy enough to support his older weight. would recommended them for an older heavier child or adult learning to ride for the first time.

work as expected

The previous training wheels we had couldn't adjust properly and my daughter was unsure about riding her little bike. These are sturdy, completely adjustable and are 100% fabulous. Great value and great purchase!

Training wheels as they should be

Well worth the extra money. Fit both of kids bikes perfectly. Easy to install and much sturdier than others on the market.

Nice product

I used these training wheels to prepare an inexpensive, well used, hand-me-down kids bike for my youngest. The wheels that came with the bike were beyond repair. These wheels fit well and are much more heavy duty. My 2 1/2 year old is already pedaling around with confidence.

Very sturdy wheels

We craigslisted a 12"bike for our kid. The training wheels were in a bad shape. We bought these based on the reviews. One reviewer said, "stop wasting time looking buy these!". I am glad I listened. These are great!

Rating :

Very sturdy

Happy with this in all respects except that the curved cut out on the bike frame bracket is too small to fit snugly against the tubular, horizontal portion of the bike frame. The final assembly is still very sturdy and fully functional, but it's obvious that the bracket doesn't fit as designed and, as a result, there will be more scratch marks on the frame once the bracets are removed.

The best training wheels!

These are great! Very sturdy, incredibly easy to install (10 minutes tops, and I'm not mechanically inclined...). Come with adapters to fit several frame sizes (I had to use the smallest to fit a Huffy 20" girl's bike). Child learning to ride is 60 lbs. and has a lot of insecurity issues. These make her feel stable and safe. We'll be taking them off in no time! Worth the extra money. Highly recommended.

sturdy

I bought two of these, one for a 20" bike and one for a 12" bike. They both fit fine, although there is no room to adjust the wheels to be farther from the ground on the 12" bike. The training wheels are very sturdy and installed easily.

Large Frame Training Wheels

These wheels were perfect for the stunt bike that my son recieved from his grandparents. He is only 6 years old and has not got the hang of riding quite yet but my parents wanted to get him a bike he could realy grow into. They bought him one that is cool enough that he will be able to use it even durring his Jr. High years. Because the larger frame makes it difficult to fit we went though 3 different types of training wheels before we found these. These wheels are great. Now my son can ride in style while still riding safely.

Sturdy heavy wheel with imperfections on rim

(I have purchased both the front and rear wheel of this set, and the reviews are identical) These are some heavy wheels, right around 3lbs, but they are sturdy and should withstand some potholes. The hubs are initially tight but smooth out after a week of riding. My largest complaint is about the rims. First, they are not beaded, so make sure your tires are not too loose (in diameter). Second, where the rims are welded into a circle, the outside of the wall has a very noticeable dip. This becomes apparent when you apply your brakes: thump, thump, thump. Third, there are about 20 small holes on the inside of the rim, about the diameter of a spoke hole. These holes have sharp edges and are begging to pierce your inner-tube. They sit too high on the walls for a standard rim strip to cover. If you want to cover them, you'd have to buy a lot of rim tape and do up the whole inside of the rim.

Concerning the 2nd point, I actually returned the front wheel thinking it was a lemon, but the replacement wheel was almost identical in the dip at weld location. The same is true of the rear wheel.

Presta

This rim is meant to be used with a presta tube. (That's the one piece of information I didn't see on this page.)

Rating :

Make adjustments before using

Rim arrived out of true with hub adjusted way too tight. After adjustments made seems like a beefy rim comparable in weight to other alloy touring rims I've had that were much more expensive but will have to wait & see if it stands up to rigors of loaded touring.

Rating :

Not for use with single speed or fixed gear

The previous comment is not true. I just bought this wheel. It is dished for a 7-speed cassette (hence 7s) not a single speed or fixed gear. I also received it poorly packed for shipment and beat up with a hole in the side.

Rating :

Cheap and great

I have been riding these wheels for about 2 months, they were super cheap, simple, non-flashy and exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend these to anyone rebuilding a 70s road bike into a fixed or single, all you need for this wheel is a cog/lockring or a freewheel.
