I put the rear wheels on but the brakes are facing inside rather than outside. If I turn the wheels around, the spring holes do not line up correctly.

The brake lock should be on the inside of the wheel facing the frame tube where the axel goes thru. I'm trying to picture this from memory. . .When you press down on the lock, it should line up? Let me know what you find out. . .Phil

I had to look at a video on YouTube for that! The instructions are very vague, but go to YouTube and there are couple of videos made by some nice ladies, there you will see a step by step on how to do it.

It doesn't appear so. Even if you moved the wheels I don't think you could do anything with the brakes.

I had to adjust the training wheels slightly towards the back of the rear wheel to allow the wheel to connect more with the pavement. The normal placement of the training wheels do not allow the rear wheel to get enough traction for the pedals to work.

I think you may have put it together wrong. The spring does not go in the tube, it is on the outside. I ran into this same problem then realized that I had things a little backward. The instructions leave something to be desired, but if you study the picture on the box, it will be clear.

In the center of the back wheels there are small holes (I don't know the name of them.) There are bolts that go from the stand into those holes. (We had to have one replaced because it didn't fit! They sent us a whole new stand, we removed the one bolt that we needed, and shipped the rest of it back. Very sad.) Anyway, when you put the bike up on those bolts, it fits right in and lifts the back wheels off the ground. Easy -- IF the bolts fit. Be aware that you are sitting up about 2 inches off the floor so you have to be careful about balance and speed. And it is noisy if you set any tension against the wheel. But you don't have to worry about all those snow storms! <hehe> In the center of the back wheels there are small holes (I don't know the name of them.)

Make sure you have the rack installed properly in your hitch. It seems like it goes either way, but it doesn't. This happened to me, and I reversed the position and now it is as solid as a rock. We put two mountain bikes on with no problem, but they have to face opposite directions. Also, the rack pivots down if you pull the lower lever for ease of getting the bikes in the holders.

I took the old one off, laying the parts in a line; then put new one on. The most difficulty is doing the front wheel with the brake. It just takes more time.

I had the same issue. I put a couple of drops of silicone oil on the wheel as they suggested and this is working so far.

Dude,---It's winter. Mine is in storage,but check the spec.s for wheel width.

I read a couple of other reviews of this product complaining about problems inserting the wheels into the holes. I didn't have a problem with it. My advice is to try again. You must be doing something wrong.

I didn't have to remove the front wheels to get room to work, just turning the wheels gave enough room to work. I did remove the rear wheels to get room to work because I did have to drill one hole on each side. There was a little dimple in the plastic fender lip that told me where to drill. I don't know if there would have been a way to do the rear without taking the wheels off but it was easier to do that try to figure out a way around it. You are not drilling into metal, just plastic so it goes easy. Maybe just holding a nail in a pair of pliers and heating up the point to melt into the dimple would be good enough? Overall, I thought it went easily and was very happy with these mud flaps. I didn't have to remove the front wheels to get room to work, just turning the wheels gave enough room to work.

I had the same problem. My son took it home and fixed it for me. Please check instructions. If you don't have them, you can google them. Note the placement of the spacers on the wheels. If the spacers are put on incorrectly, the wheels will bang into each other and not be able to close up. You will need to remove the lock pieces on the wheels and replace the spacers onto the other frame. Hope this helps.

You may need to adjust them. The back brackets may need to be moved slightly left or right. And make sure they are level.

Sounds more like the center bore of your wheels and hubs are different. You need hub centric ring spacers (based off how I'm interpreting what you're describing)

You need to center the calipers with a dished wheel. They don't come perfectly centered from the factory.

I had that issue but it took just a little elbow grease getting the rear wheel in. As soon as the paint on the rear drop-outs wore slightly, the axle became more and more easily inserted. Right now, the axle comes on and off without problems. Maybe a bit of emory cloth could thin out that thick layer of paint on your first assembly.

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.
