Do not loosen both sides at the same time. The goal is to make sure the wheel doesn&apos;t move when you install the training wheels. If you loosen both wheel nuts at the same time, the wheel can slide forward or backwards in the &quot;dropouts&quot; causing these two issues.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="b8t4k" data-offset-key="22uvm-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: rgb(27, 28, 29); font-family: Inter, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div data-offset-key="22uvm-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; position: relative; white-space: pre-wrap; direction: ltr; text-align: left;"><span data-offset-key="22uvm-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"><br data-text="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="b8t4k" data-offset-key="1fsit-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: rgb(27, 28, 29); font-family: Inter, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div data-offset-key="1fsit-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; position: relative; white-space: pre-wrap; direction: ltr; text-align: left;"><span data-offset-key="1fsit-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;"><span data-text="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">1.
