FAQs

What is the recommended age and height for this bike?

The Ridgeback MX16 is recommended for children aged approximately 3.5 to 6 years, with a height range of 100cm to 115cm.

Does the bike come fully assembled?

No, the bike requires some assembly, including attaching the handlebars, pedals, front wheel, and seatpost. Adult assembly is required.

How do I adjust the brake lever reach?

Most adjustable brake levers have a small screw or dial near the lever mechanism that allows you to move the lever closer or further from the handlebar grip.

What maintenance does the chain require?

The chain is covered by a chain case for protection. Periodically check for smooth operation and apply a light lubricant if used frequently in damp conditions.

Can the steering limiter be removed?

The steering limiter is a safety feature designed to help new riders. It is typically integrated and not designed for easy removal.

What type of terrain is this bike suitable for?

This bike is ideal for pavements, cycle paths, and other smooth, hard-packed surfaces. It is not designed for off-road trails, stunts, or rough terrain.

How does the bike 'grow' with the child?

The seatpost and handlebar height can usually be adjusted to accommodate a child's increasing height, ensuring the bike remains comfortable and safe as they grow.

Troubleshooting

Bike won't move forward

Check if the pedals are securely attached and turning freely. Ensure the chain is properly tensioned and not obstructed.

Brakes are not effective

Adjust the brake cable tension or lever reach. Ensure the brake pads are clean and properly aligned with the wheel rim. Check for any obstructions in the brake mechanism.

Handlebars feel stiff or loose

Check the headset adjustment. If loose, tighten the headset bolts. If stiff, there may be an issue with bearing lubrication or adjustment.

Tyres lose air quickly

Inspect tires and inner tubes for punctures. Ensure valve stems are properly sealed and tire beads are seated correctly.
