It’s my daughter’s 4th birthday on Monday and she’s showing an interest in pedal bikes with stabilisers (she’s had a balance bike since she was 2 and shown zero interest in it, but the idea of pedalling around is more appealing to her – so I’ve had to accept that she needs stabilisers, princess bell, basket etc!)
So we’ve got her an Islabike CNOC 16, which arrived yesterday. Islabikes are out of stock of the CNOC 16 stabilisers until the middle of March so I bought some of the EZ suspension stabilisers (that are recommended by Frog bikes)….
The problem is that the Islabike have a hollow rear axle with allen bolts to secure the wheel in the drop outs – these are only about an inch long and the EZ stabilisers fit between the drop out and bolt (so that means only half of the bolt thread is going into the hub). I just phoned Islabike and they confirmed that these stabilisers shouldn’t be used…
So – does anyone have a set of CNOC 16 stabilisers that they would like to sell and could post quickly? It would make a 4 year old very happy if you did!
