    get one get one get one

    my 1st boy had one and is now flying along on his isla cnoc14 now at the tender age of 3 1/2 he had a rothan from 2yrs and was soon scooting around everywhere, my soon to be 2yrs old 2nd son is already feet off the ground on it now so will probably be using pedals even sooner.
    i was amazed at the 5mins it took to transition from scoot to pedals, its ace!!

    dont worry about cost they are well worth it imo

    yes they are around 1mm wider so presumably you would lose 2mm ish of the axle length,

    trailmonkey have you checked out the ace descent from OS edit:grid ref removed due to it being in one of sharki's photos!!the one of del) down to the river? quality little bit of quantockesque singletrack.

    is that easdon in the background of TM studying? if so i think i know where that is and i normally have the pleasure of pushing/riding up that one my rides

    i take it your non suggestion of not using the TW tops out at the top of yarner wood(after ahem 'not' going through it?) then take a little left on the road then hang it over the top down to smallacombe rocks? looks really good but i'll never use it as its cheeky! 😉

    baby wipes should be fine, nice and gentle on the skin.
