Great how to vid. Easy to follow and I love the music. My bar keeps sliding from side to side but I'm thinking I just need to tighten the bolt near my seat. I did read the instructions in the manual but this has also helped a lot. Thanks.

Thanks, very helpful video.. in the end it's finally on.. took it off at least 6 times trying to set the height, yep messed up the front of the kids bike pretty good.. should have read the gaffer tape comment.. .. put it on a Norco fluid with 5" travel front and back.. travel still works.. although when the kids bike is not attached it slides in the bracket.. but it doesn't seem to cause any issues. just kind of odd setup..

@kingllama2325 4 жыл бұрын

the two silver pieces that slip inside the mount that clamps onto the adult's seat are to allow for different size seat posts, if yours won't fit without one or both then you've got a wide seat post, provided it's tight, it should be fine.

@andreasr7676 4 жыл бұрын

I unpacked it and assembled it with the tough cryptic instructions, but the steer fixation /stabilizing bar that you connect to the kids front wheel was so hard to get off again (for none use mode), that I had to make some force... Well, I could get it off, but then the whole stabilsator broke at its junction. Not a good solution. Any thoughts? I could get a new one, but to me it seems like a design flaw because this will tend to happen again. By the way... Great Video... that confirmed that I've assembled our the correct way. Thanks!

@loopy20000 3 жыл бұрын

@@Tasteofgyan Sure! I've ordered a second one, but we never fixed it after that, because my son had such a fun without, he grabs the steer very well and in our case having the steer loose without the stabilizer doesn't have any impact at all to the overall stability. We use the product a lot!

@coachmarieevemongrain 3 жыл бұрын

How did you end up having the tow bar not touching your wheel? At the beginning, before you install the second part of the bar, the bar is touching the wheel but at the end, the full bar is off of it. This is where I have issues with mine and I have no clue what to do about it.

@Tasteofgyan 3 жыл бұрын

It's been while, I do not use it any more!! What I could recall & may suggest is that you fully install the unit, it's seems pretty close but after full install it maintains the needed gap. If you are experiencing this post full install, something is wrong with install steps perhaps... sorry, could not of much help! But I hope someone else from community may also attempt to answer. Good luck!!

@Coxov 8 жыл бұрын

Hi, very helpful video - thanks! However, I'm having some serious issues with mine. I've tightened everything as tight as humanly possible, but I still get a tone of lean with the kid's bike (??). There seems to be a lot of play (torsionally) in the attachment that joins the two bars together (where the locking pin is, that allows the bar to extend/shorten). Has anyone else experienced this?? Is there a solution? I'm usually pretty good with bike repair, etc.; but right now this product is completely non-functional for me and I have no idea how to fix it.

@brian mays Front Bike is adult bike and rear is child bike, child bike front tire is lifted (it was perhaps clear at the end of the segment). Front bike leads the course hence I do not think it would be a good idea to try on both adult size bike...

Hi do you have a problem with your sons bike leaning to the one side when under way.

@Tasteofgyan 10 жыл бұрын

Lemme double check, I shall update back today or tomorrow after quick ride. However, to what I have observed thus far, there should be no lean which is eye catchy or should be bothering. Kids tend to put their weight sometime on one side specifically if they are not peddling, even in this scenario - you should not feel any extreme lean which should bother you. If you observe too much lean even when kid peddle, verify assembly instructions, check the weight limits from manual, there are 2 holes in extension pipe controlling length, chose the appropriate one and double check assembly on child bike. If you are confident that assembly is done right and child bike and weight is under mentioned limits then it may be faulty product. Good luck !

This video was helpful for some of the assembly. For most of it, your hand was blocking the view of what you were doing. The instructions that came with it are aweful. So, it would have been nice to see how you installed the "Not in use" part. The music is loud & disruptive. I had to turn the volume off so that I could watch.

@brightonwomble 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for trying, but I have to be honest and say that the Trail Gator might be a good idea, but it's very badly executed. I've never had such trouble putting something together that should in theory at least, be quite straightforward. The instructions were poor, and your's helped, but the actual engineering just isn't very good.
