Sunlite Heavy Duty Training Wheels

We were looking specificly for a training wheel for a 20" child's bike (ours is a Trek Mystic) for our tall 6.5 year old without having the bracket be in two pieces. We didn't have with length on the axle to install the great Wald ones we had used on a smaller bike. Having been familiar with Sunlite brand from a previous purchase for my own bike, I felt confident in the brand. Big win! These things are HEAVY! No junk metal. The welds are clean which is always an indicator of their being strong. Doesn't come with directions, but the order of the washers & nuts became obvious pretty easily. These ONLY work for a 20" bike. If you are looking for a different size, this brand makes others. These are every bit as nice as the Wald ones, either one will be safe & strong, but if you don't have much axle length, I'd highly suggest looking at these before considering replacing an axle.

These worked perfectly on 20” bike and assembled easily. Strong and sturdy and will not bend like other brands on the market. No additional hardware required (washers) as others claim. A little mechanical common sense helps when assembling them. Theses were purchased with my son in mind. Mentally handicapped he is learning to ride his bike. Because his sense of balance is off I needed training wheels that touched the ground evenly on both sides so the bike would not wobble. Tried others with no luck but these worked exactly as wanted. My son now has a little more independence’s and freedom. Highly recommend!

Was easy to install.Bent on day one. Not sturdy enough.

Definitely weird bolts/nuts/washers. But you don't need anything extra when looking at it closely. Realized that the wheel does not have bearings. the only thing it can ride on is the bolt portion that does not have threads. So here how it gos. 1)Push in washer to head of bolt 2)insert bolt into wheel 3) push in another washer 4)bolt on the nut until it reaches end of threads 5)insert into brace 6) insert washer 7)use last nut “nylon locknut” to secure. The wheel should spin freely and have a little freeplay. Enjoy update 4/18/19 after 3 months of riding. I hate the wheels. I upgraded to lawnmower wheels. Axles are 1/2 inch by 3 inch. Had to drill the slots a little more to fit the bolts through. Much more sturdy now and rides much better without wobble

I don't write many reviews but I felt strong enough about this product to write one. I went through several sets of training wheels for my kiddos. Each set of training wheels had their own failings / problems. Then I tripped across these & decided to give them a try. First, they are VERY SOLID & a quality product. When compared to the cheaper schwinn training wheels I bought at wal-mart these are much stronger & have a MUCH better design. I was very skeptical at first but after installing them I was pleasantly surprised. So much so, I've ordered two more pair for my other kiddos. The only con I can come up with is that the instructions need to be improved a bit. But if you have a little bit of common sense you should do fine! Bottom line: This is the case of you get what you pay for. If you want a solid set of training wheels, quit looking & buy these.

Update... I used these on a 20 inch Huffy Rocket Boy Bike and they fit perfect but the bolts that come with it do not work. My husband had to purchase an additional set and neither the original nuts or the ones purchase kept the training wheels in place. The wheels attach to a long open space so when the child rides the wheels do not stay in place they slide up away from the ground. My son is not a heavy boy. The metal piece itself is strong but because of the way it’s designed the wheels do not stay in place once you get the wheels on no matter how tight and secure they are at first. I returned them.

Just what I needed for my 6 yr old son. He is a big kid, both height and weight wise. The standard training wheels just didn't cut it. These things are insanely sturdy, and have held up all summer. I love the one piece build that fits right to the bike frame to keep them from twisting and moving. He feels confident and although I have yet to remove both of them, I have convinced him to let me remove one side, to help teach him. When he starts to fall to the right and overcompensates by leaning left, this training wheel does not bend, sway, or give. Perfect in my book.

These work great! Heavy duty, easy to install. Not sure why everyone is saying the needed other parts or more instructions. All part work perfect with easy to follow instructions. Maybe I understand bike better since I’m an avid cyclist but these work great. Put them on a 20” Electra kids beach cruiser for my 10 year old daughter who has special needs so she leans on the wheels while pedaling no sign of bending. Would recommend if you have a bike that does not have a horizontal dropouts. (The part of the frame where the back wheel slides into.)
