Full details
The Oxford Universal Stabiliser Set is designed for parents and guardians helping children learn to ride, offering essential balance support for bicycles with wheels ranging from 12 to 20 inches. Its primary benefit is the added stability and confidence it provides to young riders, making the transition to two-wheeled cycling safer and more intuitive. While these stabilisers are robust and safety-certified, they are strictly intended for children weighing up to 30kg and are not suitable for older or heavier riders.

FAQs
Can I use these on a 24-inch bike?
No, this set is specifically designed for 12-inch to 20-inch wheels.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The stabilisers support a maximum weight of 30kg.
Are these safety certified?
Yes, they are TUV approved and conform to ISO 8098:2015 standards.
Do I need special tools to install them?
Standard wrenches are typically required to secure the nuts onto the rear axle.
Will these fit a bike with gears?
While they fit most 12-20 inch bikes, the mounting may interfere with derailleur systems on some geared bikes. Always check the rear frame clearance before installation.
Troubleshooting
The bike leans to one side while the child is riding.
Check that both stabiliser wheels are mounted at the same height and that the axle bolts are tightened equally.
The stabilisers rattle or vibrate excessively.
Ensure all mounting hardware is fully tightened and that the brackets are flush against the bicycle frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves securing the stabiliser brackets to the rear axle of the bicycle frame. It is essential to ensure the brackets are tightened firmly to prevent slippage during use. Always verify that both stabiliser wheels are set to the same height to keep the bike level. Regular care includes checking the mounting bolts before each ride to ensure they have not loosened due to vibration. Keep the axle area clean of debris and inspect the rubber wheels periodically for signs of excessive wear. If the bike does not have a standard rear axle or uses quick-release mechanisms, check your bicycle manufacturer's manual to ensure compatibility with traditional bolt-on stabiliser kits.
