This is a simple little bike that's reduced to the bare essentials, but that doesn't mean that our engineering team slacked off. Far from it. The 6061 aluminium chassis and fork are really light, and perfectly proportioned for small children. For example, low standover allows lots of freedom of movement for their first attempts at riding, which helps build confidence. For safety's sake, we made sure that all frame parts are finished with smooth edges and corners. It's all your little one needs to start their biking adventure.The Cubie 120 Walk is designed to ease your little one into the wonderful world of bikes, building confidence in a fun and safe way. Despite its simple appearance, it's stacked with our usual attention to detail. The 6061 aluminium frame and fork are really light, and perfectly proportioned for small children. Low standover gives plenty of freedom of movement and helps to build confidence, and we paid particular attention to ensuring that all frame parts are finished with smooth edges and corners to help reduce the chance of injury. There's even a special headset setup with an integrated steering angle limiter, to help prevent accidents caused by over-enthusiastic steering. The proper pneumatic tyres provide comfort, roll easily and help make the ride fun. As for the lack of brakes... well, experience has shown that kids this young don't have the finger strength and coordination required to brake safely, which is why this is a bike that's both propelled and stopped by your child's feet. It's the ideal way to discover the fine art of balancing, to build confidence and to generate enthusiasm for the joy of riding bikes.

Shelter Wheel Kit is made of 35 washers that fit snugly over the valve stem, gluing at its base, with an elegant and almost invisible silencing effect.It's also great to balance wheels, with an additional vibration-reducing action.Key Features:Eliminates valve noises, especially on high-profile rims,Shelter washers can be used to finely balance wheels,Visco-Elastic behaviour reduced vibrations.How to silence valves:Shelter Wheel Kit is made of 35 washers that fit snugly over the valve stem, gluing at its base. With minimum bulk and weight, they provide an elegant and almost invisible silencing effect, cancelling unwanted valve movements and vibrations. The re-sealable bag makes sure washers retain their properties if needed for successive applications.Once Shelter washers are applied on the rim, it’s possible to remove the valve an re-insert it without loosing the silencing effect. This is just one application of our Shelter Wheel Kit, but there’s more.Nobody would drive a fast car whose wheels haven’t been carefully balanced after mounting tyres on.Current high performance bicycle wheels, with fancy ceramic bearings, lightweight carbon rims, cannot deliver their full potential if not properly balanced.It’s an easy task that only requires a Shelter Wheel Kit, a wheel truing stand (or a bicycle turned upside down..), patience and some minutes per wheel.Much nicer and effective than electrical tape to silence valves on high-end wheelsMuch nicer (and effective) than electrical tape to silence valves on high-end wheelsHow to balance wheels:Mount the tyre (and eventually disk) on the wheel, so that the wheel is in its rideable form.IMPORTANT: if balancing a tubeless wheel, make sure there’s very little or no liquid sealant inside (that can be added later). Liquid sealant spreads while riding without creating wheel unbalance, but it will interfere with static balancing.Place the wheel on a truing stand and make sure it can rotate freely.With a gentle push, make the wheel spin. After a few complete rotations in the direction of the push, the wheel will enter a pendulum phase where it makes partial rotations, back and forth. Behaving like a pendulum, the excess of weight on the wheel is subject to a restoring force (due to gravity) that accelerates it toward the equilibrium position. Amplitude of swings will reduce until the wheel stops: the lowest point is where the excess weight is.Often wheels stop with the valve at the lowest point… but sometimes uneven weight distribution on the tyre or less-than-accurate carbon fiber lay up overcompensate that, and the lowest point is not corresponding to the valve.Keeping the lowest point of the rim/tyre as reference, identify the opposite point on the rim (you can find it using a ruler, aligned with the lowest point and the wheel axle) and adhere a Shelter washer there.Repeat the process from #1. Each time the heaviest point may move slightly (because of friction in the hub), but it will normally remain within a +-10 cm (4 inches) range.The wheel is balanced when, upon making it turn, IT WILL STOP WITHOUT ENTERING THE PENDULUM PHASE (it won’t change its rotation sense). With each subsequent spin, the lowest point when the wheel stops is a random point on the circumference, changing every time and depending on bearing friction.Washers can be adhered one on top of the other, or side by side, on top of the rim or on its side (depending on rim profile/size).A good trick, although not always possible, is finding a spoke that’s close to the lightest point of the wheel and cutting the washer on one side, so that the washer can be put around the spoke.Each Shelter washer weights around 1 g. Typical wheel unbalance ranges from 4 to 12 grams.Visco-elasticity reduces vibrations:That’s an added bonus when balancing a wheel with Shelter washers.The transmission of vibrational energy through any structure can be reduced by introducing visco-elastic materials at discrete points. It’s exactly what Shelter does, contributing to reduce vibrations on very stiff wheels.
The 2023 Misfit balance bike is dialed for an average sized rider with frame/fork geometry that works well. And thanks to a TIG welded steel frame/fork/handlebar it’s a real BMX bike, not a weird plastic toy. Although most little ones are daredevils Fit have still done everything they can to make learning to shred as safe as possible. A vertical rear axle slot keeps the wheel in place even if loose. Domed axle nuts don’t cut like exposed axles, and grips with safety ends all help. To make installing a tire pump easier they’ve used curved valve stems. ###section### Product Specs FRAME MATERIAL: TIG WELDED STEEL WHEEL SIZE: 12" TOP TUBE LENGTH: 12" CHAIN STAY LENGTH: 9.05" HEADTUBE ANGLE: 74° SEAT TUBE ANGLE: 71° FORKS: 10MM OFFSET BARS: 2-PIECE 2.5” X 16” 19MM STEM: MINI FRONT LOAD HEADSET: A-HEADSET BRAKE MOUNTS: NA BRAKES: NA FRONT HUB: UNSEALED HUB/DOMED NUTS FRONT RIM: 16H SINGLE WALL REAR HUB: UNSEALED HUB/DOMED NUTS REAR RIM: 16H SINGLE WALL TYRES: FIT OEM 1.5” W/CURVED VALVE STEMS SPROCKET: NA CRANKS: NA BB: NA PEDALS: NA SEAT: FLATTER/MORE PADDED INTEGRATED COMBO GEARING: N/A WEIGHT: 9.6 lbs / 4.35 kg ###section### Product Highlights Balance Bikes are great for 2-4 year olds who are ready to learn to ride Ideal for Children who are want to learn to ride but are finding pedalling prohibative Strong steel construction Popular first BMX bike Geometry designed with the smaller rider in mind ###shogun-image-section###
