I have a very cheap ($18 new) uni for my son. He's 6 years old. The
wheel is not straight and I fear that that will interfere with his
learning. When I rotate the pedals I can see the wheel get closer or
farther to the sides of the fork, about 1/4-1/2 inch wobble. There is
no play in the bearings, something is just out of whack.
SO he's starting to ride, about 4 feet w/o support and I am thinking I
either need to fix this thing, or I need to get him another little
jugglebug or torker.
I learned on uni made of the front half of a tricycle and a pile flange
and a 2x4 for a seat, so maybe I should let him endure the hardship!
Thoughts?
