3.0 out of 5 stars Training wheels, March 18, 2008

This review is from: Wald 742 Training Wheels (16-26-Inch) (Sports)

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 didn't have to resort to a trike.

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.

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.
