Wald W742 Training Wheels (16-26-Inch)
Wald W742 Training Wheels are available in black/silver color combination and are recommended for bikes with sizes ranging from 16″ to 26″ and maximum rider’s weight of 125 pounds.
I have included Wald W742 as the best training wheels for bikes with gears because they have a sturdy steel rim construction and rubber tires while their installation is a piece of cake. Besides, one doesn’t have to worry about mounting hardware as these training wheels for bikes with gears come with everything needed for the purpose.
Although they are among the best training wheels for 20 inch bike with gears, these wheels can only be used with single-speed bikes; they are incompatible with multi-speed bicycles. Also, the axle is too short to attach to some bikes and secure the wheels.
Pros
- Sturdy construction
- High weight capacity
- Easy installation
- Comes with all the required mounting hardware
Cons
- The axle is a bit short
Sunlite Heavy Duty Training Wheels for 20-Inch bikes
A set of Sunlite Heavy Duty Training Wheels for 20-Inch bikes are also my favorite training wheels for 20 inch huffy bike. The wheel set weighs 3.9 pounds and has a weight capacity of 220 pounds. These silver-colored wheels feature a one-piece arm and clamp design and are available in boys’ and girls’ models.
These are among my most favorite training wheels for 20 inch huffy bike because of their heavy duty construction with rubber tires, enabling them to roll smoothly. Besides, they feature a fully adjustable design for height adjustment the rider learns to balance and extend so well that they don’t obstruct gear/derailleur operation.
However, they are only designed for a bike with a bolt-on rear wheel; not suitable for bikes with quick release rears wheels. Besides, sometimes the bolts become loose but you can add some locking washers to keep the wheels securely in place.
Pros
- They are super strong; able to support a weight of up to 220 pounds
- They roll smoothly, thanks to the heavy-duty construction and rubber tires
- They extend appropriately
- Available in boys’ and girls’ versions
Cons
- Exclusively intended for a bike with a bolt-on rear wheel
- The bolts tend to become loose
Bike USA Inc’s Junior Stabilizer 20-Inch Wheel Kit
Here comes another set of training wheels for bikes with gears- Bike USA Inc’s Junior Stabilizer Wheel Kit. These black training wheels are designed for Youth 20-Inch Wheel BMX Bikes and come in black as well as with boys’ and girls’ frames.
I like these training wheels for 20 inch bike with gears because of numerous things. first, they feature a heavy-duty steel tubing which can safely support a weight of 200 pounds or even more.
Unlike some training wheels which have weak mounting as a result of being attached to the axle, these mount to the rear chain with exceptional u-bolts coated with a plastic material. In as such, they are more strongly mounted. That’s also something that makes them my favorite training wheels for 20 inch bike with gears.
The installation of this kit is extremely easy and when mounted correctly , the total width of the wheels is less than 30 inches, meaning that a bike using them can fit through a standard doorway. Very convenient training wheels for bikes with gears!
Nevertheless, if your kid’s bike has a chain guard, you might be prompted to remove it to accommodate the stabilizers. Additionally, the kit is not compatible with folding, electric or recumbent bikes.
Pros
- Very durable and strong construction
- Easy installation
- Can fit through a typical doorway if mounted correctly
- Extremely strong mounting using u-bolts
Cons
- You might have to remove your bike’s chain guard to accommodate the kit
- Incompatible with folding, electric or recumbent bikes
