What is wrong with training wheels?
Training wheels also make for a terrible biking experience It can be incredibly frustrating and end up with your kid losing interest in their bike. Also, training wheels can’t be used on rough ground, and are a really bad / bumpy riding experience, often leading to crashes if the ground isn’t smooth.
Are training wheels supposed to be unbalanced?
Training wheels should always be set slightly higher than the rear tire. While this does cause the child to tilt back and forth on the bike as they ride, this uneven riding is oddly necessary for safety reasons.
Do training wheels slow you down?
They are slow and inhibiting (even for the best of riders – and I’ve seen some VERY proficient training-wheel riders.) They don’t do corners well. They become an unnecessary crutch that prolongs a movement towards riding without training wheels at all.

How do I keep my training wheels tight?
Simple answer – do the bolts up tighter. Bolts for training wheels are pretty hefty, it’s hard to over tighten them with a hand wrench. If you don’t have a suitably long wrench that will allow you to get the torque you need, you can extend the wrench handle with a length of metal pipe.
