Welcome Dan

It would be worth doing a brief "build report" (in the conversion kit section of the forum) letting people know the kit you used, the bike you fitted it to, any challenges you faced and learns from the experience.

It would also be worth mentioning your own knowledge/ experience level and how hard you found the installation. A lot of people seem to think that the kits can only be fitted by engineers (not true) and that puts them off buying them.

I definitely will as this was the first time I've changed a tyre on a push bike and I'm almost 40

The build report is a Good Idea. Anyone have a spare Round Tuit they could send me?
