He already has normal grips on his bike. Had to fork out all my spare money on something so funds have run dry to sort his problem but thanks for the help will pick this back up

Yeah ive set them up with the screw turned right in. Hes starting to use them but hes abit weak with his fingers. Maybe ill try percivere

many thanks for the help ill look into both and come back if i have something workng

not sure what you want in terms of pictures but ive took a few and a few rough measurements.. can take more accurate ones if eneded but it seems the two supports either side on the front brake are 800mm apart and the full hub size at the rear is around 1300mm give or take. would be great to swap the band brake with a hydrolic as its pretty hard to pull any sort of lock with his hands being so weak. he can manage tor each the levers now but obviously due to the long stretch he doesnt have the ability to engage it with it being so stuff from cable. http://s168.photobucket.com/albums/u179/spunkydamonkey/oset%20brakes/

Can anyone tell me if these will work on an oset 12.5? or does anyone have any tips on how to make it easyer for little hands that are not strong enough to pull the levers? http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/116mm_fixed_hubs/onza_sealed_disc_rear/c62p10814.html or someone else sugested magura hydrolic rim brakes. jhas anyone had any luck with these and will they fit? http://activesport.co.uk/shop/article_hs33_0000-002/Magura-HS33-Hydraulic-Single-Rim-Brakes.html?pse=coa

you can get another tank thast clips onto the front though such as this: trials bikes do well on trails that require alot to get through.. me and my friends often go down the woods and go on treks just picking a path and seeing where it goes.. the proper trail bikes are designed for single paths with a few obsticles, from what the op described he is after something abit lighter that he can move around more if he gets stuck... trials bikes are good because you can lift them over/under tree's ect that are in the way to continue on.

He uses his feet for braking thats why when going down hills he removes them from the pegs. Its alsoy problem too, his hands have to do spiderman to reach the brakes which knocks his ability to hold the bars correct then once reached hes not strong enough to pull them hence why all the hills i allow him to go down have long run offs and no suprises at the bottom. He has a strider and uses his foot brake on that, but i do need to look into hydrolic brakes. Ive been told about magura rim brakes but yet to seek more knowledge to if they will fit or not

Just a few clips that I put together of my son over the last month on his oset. these are awsome machines!

Thought this might intrest a few people who's kids have balance bikes. http://stridercup.org/ heres the one I'll be entering at manchester

keep your weight back and use alot of front.. dont jab it but if you keep your weight back you shouldnt go over the handlebars. uphill, work your suspension so your constant gettign traction. try to get a run up and if you feel the rear tire spinning then slip your clutch a little and give it more power. dont just keep your throttle wide open and expect to get up

its pathetic the extremes some people take risking other peoples safety and lives with a deterrent... its borderline stupidity, ignoring peoples safety because of their own displeasement.

they should make it like motoracer 3 i used to play many year ago, was abit glitchy but im sure with todays standards someone could create something better

id love to see some clips of toni bou on bike trials.. theres some of raga on youtube ive watched before

"im going home" haha love the faceplant

Do they get hot at all? I noticed one person sealing them with lots of tape, bubble wrap and more tape.. I thought this in itself could cause a fire with heat?
