 damn, that's like a xl cage. But I don't think that a 5 years old guy (or girl) is wondering to get a xxxxs cage for is derailleur.

 I understand when 10 year olds have ''downhill bikes'' but I think this invention is somewhat useless. Does a 5 year old need disc brakes and and a fork? No. All they need is a bike with two wheels that is functioning. My little brother had a regular bike until he reached 8 years old, then he bought a bmx to improve his skill, and finally at 10 years old he now has a DH bike. Its all about progression. Check out this shot of him bmxing (when he was 9)http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2415535/
