WR 1.0 Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Any cheap silicone grips will work - 1 cut in half per bike. (Not sure why I have black on there - I have a red one sitting in my packet of grips.)Or road bike bar tape - single wrap works fine for small hands. (I just re-used some old tape from I re-did my road bike or sometimes there's enough from the excess that you cut off when wrapping road bars.) jd.jpegThanks, I have thought about using some old road bike tape. I also like the hose pipe suggestion.

WR 1.0 Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Any suggestions for a helmet that will actually stay in place and fit like a helmet should? Bought a Bravvos helmet but the thing keeps slipping onto the back of my boy's head, no matter how I adjust the straps. He's a bit of a bobble head, head circumference is 51cm (they are turning 3 in 3 weeks)

Dont know if they have smaller ... WR 1.0 1

He's a bit of a bobble head, head circumference is 51cm (they are turning 3 in 3 weeks)Bought my son a Giro Scamp for his second birthday, turns three in a week. He loves his helmet. Had a quick glance at the price, it doubled...at R1200, personally I would look at alternatives.Bell, Lazer and Uvex bring in kids helmets at the R600 price range.Titan Racing deliver a kids helmet for R350 that looks like good value.

WR 1.0 Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Lock down has been amazing, the 3 year old now smashing some decent rides!!What bike is he on? Need to start budgeting for a pedal bike for mine JohanDiv and Vetplant 2
Pure Savage Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 What bike is he on? Need to start budgeting for a pedal bike for mineHe is on a frog 43, think it’s the smallest pedal bike they make. Easy to use brakes, all components east for the kid and light weight. Main reason he and out ride his cousins, they can only ride their makro specials for 10 minutes till their legs are “broken”. They think he is a super cyclist, but when their 3 year old jumps on she never stops riding. WR 1.0 1
Pikey Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) A 13 km ride@ Rietvlei after he did a 5km run with his mum this morning. Should be sparko by 8pm ???????? hopefully. Awesome ride with non stop commentary ???? Edited June 9, 2020 by Pikey WrightJnr, Escapee.., Long Wheel Base and 6 others 9
BSG Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) 12.something kms today with my youngest who luckily enjoys cycling with me. Bought her a Scott 60 from my sister in law after me offering to buy the bike for almost a year. Her first ride with real cycling pants, a bib I got for free some time ago which almost fits her.

BSG Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) And then in the week, big brother decided to take little sister on a more proper ride. She mentioned that at times she felt like crying. I must admit that since I bought her the Scott mtb she loves riding much more than when she had the other "mtb". Edited June 19, 2020 by BSG ChrisF, Pikey and Long Wheel Base 3

Didn’t know you can adjust reach on hydraulic brakes. Googled it and I have been schooled. ???????? ChrisF and Long Wheel Base 2
