Agree on the comments here. Although great that the bike can convert, it’s a major design floor that the jump in height of child required from no pedals to pedals is too great. So when the child is ready to convert (around 3 years old), the switched version of the bike is sized for a 4 or 5 year old. A shorter seat post is available that apparently remedies this, but you shouldn’t have to buy extra parts to fix a fundamental design floor in the bike’s unique selling point.
Awesome!
What size are the two silver bolts that go into the pedal post? They were missing out my kit.

Hi Duncan, they are a standard size M6 bolt and need a minimum thread length of 40mm. Please reach out to us on our email or whatsapp and we can get a set to you if they were missing from your kit.
Ah lads can we have a detailed video on step 1 , everybody complaining on how bad the instructions are on this video.. I’m struggling big time , brutal video

Hi Richard, we're re-doing the website and videos at the moment and hope to have it updated soon. You can see how to loosen the cable here which will make it easier to release the cable from the cradle. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmZ1w7OnqdWZkpc.html Otherwise please send me a video of your bike on whatsapp www.littlebigbikes.com/contact/ and I can assist further.
I've pulled the rear wheel back to out tension in the chain. But now the rear brake pads hit the tire instead of the tire's rim because the rim isn't flush into the slot. If i put the rim flush into the slot, then the chain is too loose. Any advice? Thanks.

Hi Martin, if the pads are touching the tyre, you can slide them up the caliper using the 5mm nut on the back of each pad. You can see how to do this here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGiawdxwda7Rlrg.html

Step 1 seems hard. I can’t seem to get the brake noodle out. Any advice?

If you loosen the brake cable using the silver barrel adjustor at the brake lever. First rotate the larger locknut anticlockwise, then turn the smaller inner barrel clockwise. This will loosen the cable and allow the noodle to be freed. Once you have done the conversion, turn both adjustors back into their original position. Hope that helps but if not please send an email via our contact page.

Agreed. Step 1 is nowhere near as easy as this video suggests. Useless!

Hi! There’s a problem because you can’t adjust the bar of the seat down enough. It would have been great to have a second shorter bar or a telescopic system with the pedals bar. Now I have to cut the bar. This bike is not suitable for al ages...

Same. And too late to order another shorter post for this weekend.
I am still struggling with step 1. It's difficult even after loosening the barrel.

Did you release the brake cable tension as shown in the link in the video description? This should provide enough cable slack to open the noodle quick release.

@@segunpalmer1629 If you make sure the cables are not twisted around one another. The rear brake cable should come out of the left brake lever and directly into the hole in the frame. If they are twisted, remove the handlebars (like during the initial assembly), unravel the cables then re-fit the bars. Can you send me a photo of the brake lever adjustor to support@littlebigbikes.com. You can also whatsapp photos via the button on the home page.

Hi There, many kids will have grown into the taller saddle height before being ready to progress to pedals. However if your little one is ready to pedal but still too small, you can purchase a short seatpost from our spare parts page. www.littlebigbikes.com/shop/spare-parts-for-littlebig-bike/ This allows the saddle to be lowered to 47cm while in pedal mode.
Please revise your video to troubleshoot Step 1. This video was not made with the average parent in mind.
