Does anyone think the axle was too long? When we put the wheels on there was a lot of axle showing.

"It was long, but it works."THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.The axle is, in fact, longer than it needs to be.

I had to drill a hole into the plate that holds my wheel (forward of the axle). In order to attach it to the actual axle bolt, I was told I'd need to buy a whole new wheel with a longer axle. Drilling the hole was the best idea and has not compromised the integrity of the steel that holds the wheel in place. Now that I have that set up, its a very fast connect, disconnect. If I could attach a photo I would but I don't see where that's possible.

I also had a great deal of trouble with wheel assembly. Once together, I love the trolley, but putting it together was a bear!

I had a similar issue, and I wouldn't call it terrible, but there was definitely a wobble perpendicular to the track/rail. Tightening the bearing to the point that sliding movement is slower solved the issue though. Have you checked the bearings themselves? Is there a rust spot forming that might be making this movement?

If I remember right there wasn't much assembly at all. I think it was just putting on the wheels.

I had the same problem with the wheel and almost returned it. you have to put the trike down on its wheels and wack it with a hammer.

I had the same issue but it went down some after a while plus I had 20 inch wheels and needed the extra clearance. ..

They wheels are suppose to rotate a little. That said, double check that you followed the instructions EXACTLY. We thought we had until on closer observation of the last page we realized that the wheels should not extend over the front. We had put the wheels on backwards! FYI - that mistake is nearly impossible to correct after the wheels are on.

I'm quite happy with the tires. If they were any wider,I would have to delete them a bit to get them past the brakes when removing the wheels. For this reason I felt they were as wide as one could buy without becoming an inconvenience. Enjoy!

If it is big enough, it can cause the wheel to lock and mess things up. We have to order a new part for ours for something similar---frozen manure.

Personally I would correct the installation. It may not move and appear solid but do you want to risk it with 300lbs on your back? I wouldn't. This is a safety issue and should definitely be corrected.

We had the same issue. I got very heavy, very tight "asparagus" rubber bands & made a tread with them. I put them on the wheels about 2/3rds of the way toward the axle. You just have to make sure they are very tight, check them very often, and supervise the baby's playtime with it. I guess they could be glued on, but ours are VERY tight.

I had squeaking that sounded like it was coming from those wheels, but I did some research online and saw some people suggested loosening the screws on the pivot points just a half turn. I did that and the squeaking went away during the next workout (it took a few minutes but it did go away). I guess over-tightening them can cause squeaking where the pieces rub together. That's my experience anyways!

No, the generation of the wheel is to great. Too much tire not enough wheel.

I think the only way to shorten it would be to remove the wheels. The poles that form the legs are not adjustable.

Aloha! Yikes!!! I haven't had that experience thank goodness. DID You Contact the seller? Hopefully you didn't injure yourself. If the seller does not respond call amazon customer service. I'll make sure I check the wheels our. Mahalo! !!

I do not know for sure, but backspacing might be the culprit. A wider wheel might have different backspacing. Just a thought.
