12 Inch Balance Bike Replacement Wheel, EVA Foam Balance Bike Wheel Compatible with Strider, Black

Was a direct fit to my daughter’s strider bike

Made a wooden balance bike for my grandson. These were the perfect wheels for it.

A piece on the wheel axel broke on my child's secondhand Strider bike (Sport 12"). The bike shop wasn't able to fix it because Strider doesn't sell individual parts so I tried this. The wheel does seem to be made of some sort of foam instead of rubber so I'm not sure how long it will hold up, but so far it seems to be made well. I also kept the Strider tire so that I can use the other axel pieces too

If you use two of the thinner nuts from the stock retrospec bike wheel, this can be used as a replacement. After the bearings broke on the back wheel I was able to use this with a couple thinner nuts (pulled from the stock wheel setup) to use as spacers. This foam is still not great and we should’ve gone with the inflatable rubber tires, but this is a good replacement for the stock wheel.

The tire is rigid, hard, cheap plastic making it slippery and unsafe to use.The axle is too short for the bike such that the end bolt on one side can not be attached to the axle.No axle spacers to stabilize the wheel in the center of the forks.

It is a perfect fit for our strider balance bike.

My four-year-old son LOVES his strider bike, and the front wheel met an unfortunate demise due to a misplacement behind our car one day, oops. No big deal, I hopped on Amazon and ordered this replacement which came in very quick, and we got to work on fixing it together, he was so excited to use the tools and work on his bike. We got one side tightened down and realized... we were missing the hardware for the other side! The lock washer and cap nut were not included for half of the assembly. That's okay, we can just use the hardware from the original tire. NOPE. It's different sized threading so that was out the window. Okay, slight hiccup, but Amazon is great at sending replacements if something goes awry. We hopped on and they easily sent us a replacement to which I explained how we were only missing a part of the hardware and thankfully they sent us a whole new wheel as a replacement.Overnight shipping, the next day we are excited to finish up our project together. We open the box to get what we need. NO HARDWARE AT ALL?! This time the entire axel shaft, washers, and nuts are ALL missing. I hope we just found the two anomalies that existed, and this isn't as consistent as a problem as it seems. The tire itself was solid and was a perfect replacement, we just couldn't attach it due to the mishandling of hardware twice in a row.Thankfully we were refunded, and I will find an alternative to get him back to flying down hills, but it's unfortunate we got unlucky twice on this one!

Looks like a good product. Still waiting to put it into use.
