Yes, I have fitted the clear sleeve. You can't really fit it wrongly and it's tightened as much as it will go. Perhaps they have pulled it too much trying to stop for a wee whilst still attached to the bike, they don't pull when they're running.

No I don't think so. It's a men's mountain bike, just a smaller frame than my husband's. I'll have a look at the diamater of the saddle pole compared to Mark's bike.

Enzo nearly pulled me off the other day because he wanted to go and sniff under a tree. I will have to remember to take them over to a bush to do a wee before I attach them to the bike otherwise they keep wanting to stop!

On a plus note, Enzo is quite happy to go out on it as long as he doesn't have to wear a harness. He's a bit slow, though, but he has shorter legs than Rossi who has a nice trotting pace.

I'm thinking of selling the Walkydog and buying a Springer but can't seem to find any UK suppliers. Does anyone in the UK have one and where did you get it?
I sometimes use a springer , here is a uk site .

That could be difficult as I'm usually on my own when I go out! I've looked at the bike and the pole is quite narrow so that could be the problem.

Great, thanks. Can you tell me the height of the clamp as I'm short and my saddle has to be quite low. I've only got about an inch and half on the pole! I may just have to stick with the Walkydog and tighten it before I go out.

I have a springer, the clamp is supposed to fit on the bike frame (although mine doesn't I cheat and have an electric bike) I find it excellent.

Same as me, then! It's quite expensive so I don't want to go and buy it if it won't fit. I'm bound to get moaned at anyway for wasting money.
