How do I keep my training wheels tight?

Simple answer – do the bolts up tighter. Bolts for training wheels are pretty hefty, it’s hard to over tighten them with a hand wrench. If you don’t have a suitably long wrench that will allow you to get the torque you need, you can extend the wrench handle with a length of metal pipe.
