In my experience, any device that bolts to the bike to teach them to ride without stabilisers will ahev such a very very short term use its not worth bothering with.

In both my cases, I held the back of the sadlle for probably less than ten minutes all told!

My lil un seems to have special needs when it comes to cycling. And currently my back hurts. Could you hold onto him for the next 10 - 20 mins?

"standard" M10 thread is usually Metric Coarse or M10x1.5 - that's what most generic DIY places would carry.

My guess would be you want M10x1.25 or Metric Fine, but as Rods says you either need to measure peak to peak (1.5mm, 1.25mm or 1.0mm) or use a thread gauge set.

Are you replacing the bolts because they're too short or something along those lines?  If you have old bolts you need to match but in a different length I can have a look in my big box of bits, if you like - you could post me the old ones and I'll match them?

I suspect you are correct. I need a fine thread, not sure how fine though. I will try and find a thread gauge set.

I am being innovative because the balance handle is meant to be installed by replacing the rear hub nuts. But my sons bike has an odd axle bolt on it which isnt compatible.

As Mark DTM said, he will probably learn to cycle before I sort this out.
