Does anyone know how to convert the front wheel into a swivel wheel?

This model can not be converted into a swivel wheel. If you are a serious jogger, this is the best stroller. When you are on a run... the front wheel not moving left or right is very safe! There are other Jeep models I'm sure with swivel wheels. Hope this helps... enjoy!

You can't. At least not without an acetylene torch and some spare aluminum. It is however an awesome jogging stroller. It's very study and easy to push and if you need to turn, a little pressure on the handles raises the front up and allows you to pivot. I would definite recommend it.

The front wheel does not pivot. It's not a big problem for me. I just take wider turns.

I bought one of these bikes a while ago and the front wheel was stolen. Do you know where I could order a replacement wheel/tire?

I have no idea as I cut them to fit, taking off a goodly amount. The tightener is a lost cause; it's for a much larger wheel and there is no way to convert them. It's listed as a small on the package. HW

Yes it is but of course you will need toa) choose a spoke pattern and b) calculate the spoke lengths http://sheldonbrown.com/rinard/spocalc.htmc) Get the spokes cut at a good bike shop. I forget what I paid but it was cheap and they did in 20 minutes.You want to get the spoke length right: too long will wreck your inner tune and too short weakens the overall wheel.I got it right within half a millimeter first time just by doing the math. I used spocalc and also my own trigonometry to get the same result.It was a worthwhile exercise and I could do it all quicker next time :) Yes it is but of course you will need toa) choose a spoke pattern and b) calculate the spoke lengths http://sheldonbrown.com/rinard/spocalc.htmc) Get the spokes cut at a good bike shop.

You can flip the seat around either way, as well as flip the handlebars so that the swivel wheels are in the front or the back. You can also adjust the angle that the seat is positioned, as well as the position of the handle (up or down). Hope that makes sense.

I have not seen any attachment; however it seems to me, using a larger diameter Wheel would work. I would hope they develop one.

I just recently got mine. The wheels on mine are not good quality. The front wheel will not swivel.

I found a base that fit over the back tire and attached to the wheel axle. found it on amazon - had a bike shop put it on cause I didn't have the tools.

For this model, the front wheel does not swivel. If you want the swivel front wheel, you can check our 3in1 mode. thanks

front wheels swivel (2). Don't think you'd want them all swiveling. Very easy to manage.

It's not difficult. A spoke tool is handy to loosen the spokes but not 100% necessary. The cog will probably need to be removed from your current hub to remove the spokes from that one side. You'll also want to make sure the hubs are really comparable in size, otherwise you'll need different length spokes. You'll also need to get the spokes/wheel trued so it doesn't wobble. Hope this helps.

Hmmm not sure, I will try mine when I get home! Have not had an issue, mine was the wheel coming off!!

I made the conversion on my wifes tricycle. The conversion works very well. Make sure you also order the correct fulcrum lever and a shift cable cup that screws into the fulcrum lever. These two items did not come in the kit. LC

You have the option to let the front wheel swivel or not. There is a latch on the front wheel to keep it stationary or to let it pivot for easy maneuverability.

No you cannot because it clamps to the frame. When you turn the front wheel, the frame is stationary but the wheel is not.

It's been years since I bought this, & never took them off, they're worn, but never replaced. I keep directions. FOR REAR WHEELS-- You have to pop off the collet cover (button) on the outside of the wheels first, then take off collet (piece under cover). Hold axle & pull off wheel. To put together--do opposite of..... -Fit brake teeth extension to wheel if it is not pre-molded. -Slide wheel assembly onto axle. -Fix small plastic collet onto axle end and ensure that the key in axle groove is correctly located in the slot of the collet. -Fit cover to collet by firmly pressing the cover into place. Repeat for other side. FOR FRONT WHEELS --read bottom Fit the footplate into place by pushing the 4 plastic studs into the holes in the frame. Screw the 4 screws firmly into place. Remove the plastic packing from the front forks and dispose of them safely. Loosen the quick release outer nuts and washers from the wheel's axle but do not remove. Fit the front wheel into the slots on the front forks at the same time fit the pins into the holes on the forks. Make sure that the quick release lever is in the open position and finger tighten both nuts. Push the lever to the closed position to tighten securely. Pull the wheel to ensure it is fitted correctly. Before the nuts are tightened please ensure that the front wheel is fitted parallel with the two rear wheels. Incorrect alignment could cause the stroller to veer to one side. *******To remove the wheel, push the lever to open and loosen that nuts enough to free the washer pins from the forks. Was trying to scan the pics but wouldn't work. Hope this helps. No phone but PETGEARINC.COM might help. Lisa
