I maintain a fleet of about 35 kids bikes for my wife's daycare business. She get donations of mostly of cheap department store kids bikes. The most often broken part is the training wheels. So, I have bought and installed lots of replacement training wheels over the years.

You really want the model with the `sturrip' that goes forward and fits over the chainstay. That keeps the training wheel from flipping back and upward when the kid puts weight on it. Wald makes many durable models with this feature. Go buy one of those.

Bought these for my 4-year-old. As my title said, a very solid, well made item, adustable as he becomes more balances as he learns to ride.

Almost an out of the part home run, except I wish they threw in two washers so I don't have to keep tightening the bolts as often... I'll just have to dig up a couple of my own. Other than that minor annoyance, it is a superior product and I do recommend it!

I couldn't believe how hard it was to find 12" training wheels for my 2 1/2 year-old. The local stores were sold out. These have worked great. They were easy to install and my little one loves riding her bike. It's a bike that is a few years old but we had thrown out the old training wheels when my older daughter learned to ride without them. These wheels have been a good replacement.

my 4 year old son's plastic training wheels had broken, was very pleased with this purchase. metal hubs instead of plastic. fairly simple to install. don't waste anymore time looking for replacements, buy these!

I am delighted to have found a set of wheels that is NOT plastic, NOT gimmicky and does extremely well what it is supposed to do.

I was very impressed with this product. I searched high and low for a set of training wheels that would fit my daughter's disney princess bike. These were the only ones I could find that would be sturdy, and built to last. Also that fit her bike properly. All of the other training wheels didn't fit, they were too large. So these fit perfectly for the smaller bikes out there. I was very impressed with how sturdy and great these wheels are.

Oh my god these are legit! Thick, strong steel arms. These are old school and built to last! I highly doubt your kid will bend these while they are on the bike! There is also no "tilt" from one side to the other when riding with these, they keep the bike almost perfectly upright. I have these on a 16" Marin MBX 50. You will need to have the nuts that secures your rear wheel to the frame to bolt these on, but everything else is there for an install. Nice. These will last forever....pass them down from kid to kid!

These training wheels were very easy to install on my daughters used bicycle. The are solid steel and work well on her Huffy made bike.

Bought this for my youngest son for his "Motorcycle" bike. We live on ten acres in North Florida, lots of sand and ample rust on anything metal. These have held up to some serious abuse by the kids and are still going strong even with all the sand. I would definitely pay every penny for these again without hesitation.

i have ordered these training wheels and really like the consrtuction and the ease of installation. it would be a nice addition to this product if they had paint color options for the metal part of the wheels
