I am having trouble putting the plastice sleeve sprocket into the rear wheel. The sprocket appears too large for the wheel. Any advice?

you have to make sure you put the gear on the right side of the metal axle you have washers,etc for axle with motor on axle fits into indention in body of toy

My brother in law built ours but I looked at it and here is what I can tell you. Looking at the bike from the back going from the left side to the right is what I see. The left tire just has the axel pushed in it, then there is 4 inches of exposed axel before the chassis starts, after the chassis there is the black shaft, then a white sprocket that is larger than the sprocket shape inside of the wheel. I called my BIL and he does remember having to force the axel and wheel together but said that the white sprocket that I can visibly see did not fit in the wheel shape. I am not sure if this helps. I have pictures I will try and post if you need them. My brother in law built ours but I looked at it and here is what I can tell you.

Try to find innertubes for children's bikes that will fit roller to roller. Then you will have to carefully trim to fit in width. Sorry.

What is the axle spacing of your internal gear hub that you want to use with it? Compare the specs. You can't just add nuts onto the hub to widen it. But you may have to do some widening of the rear triagle, which is really tricky, because the chainstay on the right has an indent (for chainring clearance) that the left one doesn't have, so if you have to pry them apart, they won't separate evenly, and you will need to do some precise realigning. Advanced stuff.

I Had a similar problem. The chain guard wouldn't let me mount the motor low enough to attach It to the bottom rail. I bought a new bracket from kingsmotorbike.com . They have just about any part you would ever need. You could possibly get a longer bolt from home depot . You may have to get creative . Goodluck

I had the same problem, but after a few trys I stretched it full out and it worked, then I had a problem hooking it to the rails as they were wider, I found if you tip the plastic to the outside it will jiggle in place. I have enjoyed using them.

Sorry but I don't know if it fits. I only change the old sprocket to the new rim.

make sure the screw is in the hole in the back. It should not be on the metal that spins the back tire, but as you move it around there is a hole to put the screw in.

Hi,I'd go to Blackburn's website to get the most accurate information. Also, I had to convert to a quick release on my rear wheel (for me it was easier than I thought).

I just used a regular box end open end wrench to put it on , and tighten it up . That's the way I have been doing this since I was a kid . When I changed pedals on my BMX , and Freestyle bikes they always stayed tight . I hope this helps you .

I just took a close look at my RAD trainer. It is my opinion that a nutted axle will not seat correctly. I would be afraid the bike would slip out and cause injury.

My bike had the exact issue. The part proform suggested was $500 and did not come with a guarantee that the issue would be fixed. The part cost more than the bike. Proform was horrible to deal with. They were insulting and unhelpful. I ended up spending a little over $500 for a new Nordic track. Love the new bike. Sorry to hear you are having the same issue. We took the bike apart and tightened the belt ... Checked everything online for answers ... Nothing worked.

Thanks all. I purchased it. Now it is time to find a mountain bike fitting for it. Any suggestions?

Not sure what the issue is. I know we had to follow the path exactly that ours came out of. There were two specific points that had to be connected right for it to work. One was on the spring end and the little s shaped metal piece had to slide in correctly and the other was a clip on the back. Perhaps it is too long? I am not sure what else the issue could be. You might google/you tube to try to make sure it is connected right. Best of Luck

I just used a large flat headed screwdriver. Got between the metal rim and the plastice cover and gently worked my way around the outside of the wheel. Hope this was able to be of some help to ya.

The one I installed REALLY went into the wheel. It wasn't a problem for me. BUT use longer bolts if it's an issue.

It was a tight fit for mine also. I used a little oil on the tube and just make sure you are inserting it squarely.
