The 14\" wheel kit also includes a disc brake mount for use with the optional Magura brake. If your child is between sizes or growing quickly, the 14\" is generally the better long-term choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the frame compatible with non-Kids Ride Shotgun components?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe frame uses a standard 1-1\/8\" semi-integrated headset, so headset components from other brands with the same specification will fit.
