DD (age 3.5) seems to have pretty well craked riding her puky velocipede so I am just starting to think about getting her some pedals. She is slightly built although quite tall and I am still trying to decide whether to hold on for a while and go staright to 14" wheels or not. Decathlon do range of 12" bikes for about GBP60 whith full chain cases and cati front brakes/somesort of uneclosed hub rear brake. I like the look of thse better than the more usual cheese based calipers you normally see. Anyone have any direct experience of thsi range? Any comparison with, say, puky bikes? Any other particular recommedations?
On an unrelated note, how /does/ a Zefal HPX fit onto a schaeder valve? Do you just push it harder?

If it's like mine, you need to unscrew the cover of the valve connector. Pull out the rubber ring and a plastic "pin" which sits behind it. Turn the pin round so that the point will stick outward, and re-insert it. Turn round the rubber ring so that the end with a thinner wall will be outward, and re-insert that. Screw the cover back on.
NOW push it on the Schrader valve until it hisses. If it won't press on easily, you may have to loosen off the cover slightly.
