WR 1.0 Posted April 16, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR 1.0 Posted June 4, 2020 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know if they have smaller ... WR 1.0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Pure Savage Posted June 7, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSG Posted June 14, 2020 Share 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 Share 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".

Didn’t know you can adjust reach on hydraulic brakes. Googled it and I have been schooled. ???????? Long Wheel Base and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
