These are the 1380g lightweight, carbon rim, titanium freehub lovelies! The ten speed hubs are silky smooth, the rims are true. These are rim brake wheels. They have spent most of their days hanging on a hook.

Video: Balance Bikes Are The Ultimate Way To Learn - How To Bike with Ben Cathro
Ben's point about not forcing the issue is THE MOST IMPORTANT. I helped dozens of kids in my neighbourhood learn to ride. We had a bunch of bikes and let them share and take their pick, I removed bells and horns to remove the temptation to remove hands from handlebars. Some would do balance bikes, some wouldn't. A gang of kids can egg each other on, but I found telling some kids how to have fun in a certain way sometimes would backfire. The most effective method I found was to have a child stationary on the bike, then crouching in front of the bike put your hands either side of the upright sections of the (BMXish) handlebar to catch the bike if they start to fall. Then have them try to trackstand, noticing how the bike falls and experiment with turning the bars, then leaning the bike, then combining the motions to making a game of balancing between my hands, not hitting them. Most kids would be riding unassisted after about 5 minutes (not my son). The holding under the saddle thing is back breaking, and doesn't help the child feel how their inputs control the balance. My son wouldn't do balance bikes, but he pedalled about 1.5 miles each way to and from preschool from before he could speak full sentences until he moved up to 16in wheels by which time his training wheels were bent so far off the ground they did nothing. Although I helped many of his friends go training wheel free, he simply didn't care. Pedaling and covering ground was more important to him than balancing. He still rides to school every day, but he says we mountain biked enough during lockdown that he's lost interest for now. Having the next size bike ready before it's needed and letting the child choose was fun and helpful. I highly recommend that.

The part between the shifter and the bar-clamp is upside down, this means that the screw isn't lined up with a cut-out in the rod, which may explain why you experienced the shifter slipping.
