Which tire do I need for a Schwinn 26"bike with S-7 rims?
1588365
Based on a quick Google search, I would think you need a "26 X 1 3/4" tire.

You'll need a 26x1 3/4 tire; Schwinn had their own rim sizes specific to their bikes so make sure you get a tire that is specifically for the Schwinn rim. Would you believe that a 26x1.75 tire is NOT the same as a 26x1 3/4?? Go figure. But they won't fit your S-7 rim, only a 26x 1 3/4 tire will.

Yes my fixie also has a 26" rim and the thickslick fits just right. The tire will be very tricky to put on the rim but its worth it.

I use a Schawalbe Hans Dampf 26x2.35-Inch. A wider tire i think doesn't fit. Regards,

You bet... you'll need a 26x1.25 tube. I went cheap and bought some at Wal Mart not knowing how much I'd like the tires (thinking sunk costs). When you put the tires on, you might find that they are a tight fit around the rim and that the tube seems to crimp when you first lay it inside the tire. Not sure if the crimping corrects itself when you inflate the tire; thus far I've had no problems after 60+ miles of riding on 'em.Hope that helps,CT

You don't want to put more liner in than you need. 29 inches of liner in a 26 inch tire. Nor do you want too skinny liner if your tires are fat, or too wide liner if your tires are skinny. Your tire should have a size written on the side. Get liners that have a range that includes your tire size. 700 is a road biking tire size. it is however identical in diameter to a 29 inch tire...622mm in diameter. the 700 are generally more narrow for skinny road biking rims. You probably want blue for very skinny 26 inch tires, Silver is for "regular" or "normal" width 26 inch tires, and brown is for the wider 26 inch tires. I have a mountain bike with very wide tires and run the brown. You don't want to put more liner in than you need. 29 inches of liner in a 26 inch tire.

Yes I have these listed, Kenda S-5 K-62 Vintage Schwinn Wire Bead Bike Tire, Black, 24-Inch x 1.25/1.375mm ...B001O8YM2EDoug

Either the 24" or the 26" should suffice. The size is more a reference to the tire size than it is the actual physical stautre of the Tricycle. The frame is the same for both the 24" and the 26". There is ample adjustment on the seat to accommodate you needs.

This can depend on the type of bike. I'm assuming you're referring to that the wheel you purchased isn't fitting in between your bike frame. If you buy a mountain bike wheel, it may not necessarily fit on a street/speed bike or thin racing bikes. You can also fit various size tires on certain wheels. So while your tire can say 26x1.75, it may not be what was meant for the wheel. Easiest way to know what size wheel to get (beyond consulting your owners manual) is to measure and look for a wheel for your type of bike. (Also, keep in mind if you're looking for a standard wheel or one with a quick release set-up) What is disconcerting is tires can differ between manufacturers. (Check on your wheel and see if measurements are listed on it as well)

Sounds like it might. Apparently these tires only fit 26 1 1/2 Schwin rims and fit nothing I currently have.

Well these tires were designed to fit a 26 x 1.75 rim, not sure what would happen in a fat bike rim, may seat the bead well with tire beads so wide in that rim. But I would recommend the Surly Floyd of Origin8 has a good pavement 26 x 3.5 tire for fat bikes. The guy who posted earlier I don't think he knew you were talking about a fat bike, as his is a MTB.

Yes it will fit. 20X1.75 tire will not fit the Schwinn rim, but you can use a 20X1.75 tube.

It's a 700c/29er tire. It's the same diameter rim, so you can use a 700x28-35mm tube with this tire. 29'er refers to the overall diameter once the tire is on the wheel.

My Specialized has 700x32c tires. That is the largest it will handle before it will start catching the fender. My tires measure about 1.25" in width and height from the rim. I think 25mm is about an inch. If that is the case, then these will fit your Schwinn. I find it interesting that they mixed your tire measurement with imperial and metric. I would have thought it would have measured 26x1. Hope this helps.

Not sure what size bike you have or tire you need. If your bike uses 26" tires them yes this is a great tire.

Yes... IF... your bike is a vintage early 60's through early 80's 26" Hollywood, AND... still has the original Schwinn S-7 rims. These rims take the special Schwinn 26 X 1 3/4 tire, not the standard 26 X 1.75 tire. Fraction = Schwinn, decimal = standard. The original Schwinn rims typically have a knurled strip down the middle where the spokes go through, and some will be stamped Schwinn Approved and S-7. For inner tubes, no special Schwinn size required, 26 X 1.75 - 1.95 work fine. The new Chinese made Schwinn Hollywoods available these days at Wall-mart and so forth take large balloon style tires, completely different. Hope this helps. . Yes...

I bought these: Sunlite Bicycle Tube 26 x 1.95 - 2.125 SCHRADER Valve and they fit great. I bought them for 70's Schwinn.

I purchased a 26 inch rim, and I use 26 x 2.125 tires, the tube is just a 26 inch, although I do add a puncture strip to the inside wall of the tire, and that helps with flats. As long as everything is 26 inch, you should have no problems. Hope this helped you out!
