Hello DT,

Does anyone out there have a kid growing out of their bike?

I'm looking for a 20 inch wheel geared bike with front/full suspension.

It needs to be on the light side of kids bikes. They can be tanks...

Thanks!!!

Thanks Milo, I'm hoping for something more like a little MTB and lighter.

Also, What full face do you use for your little ones?

J.A.M., here's a good helmet. I had a hard time finding a full face that was really kid size (this is XS).This one is well made and a great price.

That looks like a nice helmet Dan.

for 20" MTBs, you don't really have too many choices unless you really want to spend the big bucks. get a decent one and wait until he grows into a 24" or 26"

My son is only 10 but I managed to get him on a Junior Trek Fuel.

Thanks Milo. We have a handful of years before we can get on a 24inch wheel.
