Why does this tire slip from the Shwinn tire rim and cause a blowout, even after being professionally installed? Mine blew out in less than 3 miles.

Though it took me a little while to install them, I've never had a problem with them blowing out, or the inner tube slipping out. Just make sure that you got the correct size tires. It took me a while to figure out these unusual (to me at least) sizes. I believe that they are not an American standard size. If you're trying to fit it on a true American sized wheel, they won't fit. I hope this was helpful.

Mine did the same thing. I replaced the band on the tire as it was old. The old band allowed the inner tube to be punctured by the spokes. Once the bad was replaced, it's been a great tire.

I had similar experience and returned mine. No idea but not a good tire by any stretch of the imagination.

I installed mine myself and blew one out almost immediately. Installed another and both have done very well ever since but I can not tell you why they slip so easily. You might want to try a set of tires with the wire edges which hold much better to the rim.

I found all my runout (more than you) to be in the spindle. I emailed WEN customer support and they are sending me a new spindle. I hope that swapping it out will get me the results many others have had. I have many MT#2 tapers and chucks that all run true, so if the spindle is correct, everything else should fall into place.

I have heard of this problem before from other buyers. I have not had this problem. I would call Schwinn and ask them.

My front tire was really hard to turn at first but it eventually loosened up. I am not sure about the shaking though - mine doesn't shake. I would call the company - it is too much money not to work properly.

I haven't had to deal with that issue. My bike has been doing great! I would send a request to Schwinn for the information.

It happened to me. I replaced the band that runs over the tire rim. It covers the spokes. Mine was worn out

I used a couple different ones. They all blew. Trick is to deflate 10 lbs below recommended psi. If you call the company they will give you a few new inner tubes. They are probably hoping a law suit doesn't happen. Oh yeah and just tell the tire shop the numbers on the side of tire and they will find the right inner tube.

Its not unusual for a bike with a quick release tire to not fit in the trainers. Mine didn't either, but my sons bike did. It's an easy fix though. The skewer ( the nut and rod that hold the tire onto the bike), needs to be replaced for one that fits both your bike and the trainer. When I first heard I had to do that, I was really disappointed, thinking it was going to be a harder job then I could handle. But if you youtube "how to change a rear skewer", you'll find it its a really simple job. I ordered a new skewer from Amazon. The one I ordered is called CycleOps Trainer Skewer. Although I have read that others were able to go to a bike store to buy one. It took me about a minute to switch the skewers.

It sounds like you didn't tighten each area enough with the provided Allen wrench. Allignment sounds off. We had to retighten a few times before the handle bars were straight.

I took it to my tire shop and he installed it for me. You have to take the tire off the rim. I had a slow leak on another tire which he fixed at the same time and the total bill was $37.00 I paid him cash and didn't ask for a breakdown, but he also had to recalibrate the other sensors to be sure they were reporting in the correct position (right front, left front, etc.). I hope this helps.

Mine blew on the first trip. I bought tube on line and put it into the tire. It has worked fine since then.

Unless you have a defect, the only thing I can think of is the tire hanging up on the brake pads. The wheel's center screw mount should stick out through both fork c shaped ends. The fork isn't bent really bad is it?

The issue is with the Schrader valve not the gauge. I've had this occur over several tires on various cars. The root cause can be traced to tire inflators that either damage the threaded portion of the valve stem causing it to become out of round or bend the center air release pin. After replacing the valve stems on all our affected tires I no longer have this problem. You can try just replacing the center valve stem pins and see if this resolves it. If not you will have to bite the bullet and replace the entire stem... You should also consider avoiding gas station inflators which are often abused and consider buying a personal home air compressor. The issue is with the Schrader valve not the gauge.

Hey Ross, There should be a direction arrow on the sidewall showing correction direction. I just pulled one off the self & there was do direction arrow on the 26x 2.0 I looked at, how ever they should be mounted so that the sipping (groves in tread) force water away from the center towards the sidewall. So looking at the photo with product, that tire would be rolling towards the camera, if it was rolling away it would pull water into the center of road contact & could result in hydroplaning.

I bought a pair of the old, original looking balloon tires and tubes for a 1939 Schwinn (American Flyer) bike that I brought back up to original condition. I had put 3200 miles on myself, as a kid. I put too much air in one of them when I was trying to "set" it firmly in the rim. Boy, does it make a mess when you pop the tube.

Hi K,I would say the tube is too large. I tried to fit it into a 700 X28 and had a overlap of at least an inch, making it impossible to fit into the tire. Of course I was many miles from the nearest bike shop, fortunately I had one regular 700 25 to 32 I could put in. The other part of this mis adventure was Carolina Cycles refused to honor the fact that they sold me two tubes that were basically worthless. Do not do business with them.

some bikes on the rim there is not enough clearance for airing the tires with a straight valve.Also it is easier to air the tires when needed with the angled valve.Just my opinion
