I have a Schwinn World from the 80's. It is a ten speed and recently the rear wheel won't get back in alignment. The tire is 27 1 1/4. Do I buy this?

the tire you describe is a standard size - so is this wheel - so yeah- it is a simple replacement - i put it on a trek 400 ten speed that was manufactured in 1982 -

Yes size is standard and fits on older 80's bikes but make sure you get the relevant style for the freewheel mounting.You will need to specify either the older style thread-on freewheel version or the newer freehub style.

You can look for a stock replacement from schwinn,just make sure you know the tube size,and if you buy from another company just make sure the tube size is the same.

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.

If your Schwinn Meridian Adult Trike has 26" x 2.0" , then, maybe, NO. The Schwinn Comfort Tire size is a 26 x 1.95-inch which is a hair smaller. I would go with a tire that is closer to the 2.0" or maybe a 2.125". Here is a good puncture resistant tire but more expensive...Tire Bicycle, street 26 X 2 Inch Puncture Resistant, Puncture Guard, thorn resistant, Comfortable ride by Biria, hybrid bike tread tire , By Biria

Negative. This is the tire only. If you need the entire wheel .. you will have to know if you have a Disc brake or V Brake. Most Freewheels will accept most of the rear cassette gears.. but sometimes there are some oddball's out there. You may want to consider going to a local bike shop?

The product lists only one (1) 27" tire (630mm) typical of older bicycles, and that is the 27 x 1-1/4, which is smaller than 1-1/2 (odd). The 27 x 1-1/4 tire offered on this site is a relatively narrow road/touring tire for older bicycles, such as my 70's-80's Sears' 10-speed. Other models of tires may be size 1-1/8 or 1" (both smaller) or 1-3/8 (wider than 1-1/4, but smaller than 1-1/2). If your bike is a 700-something, it may be better to look for the metric size (if stated). Another website describes 27x1-1/2 as a German (Kriegen) Roadster bike tire, metric size 609mm x 40mm or ISO 40-609 or Franc 650-32. Hope this helps.

What you probably mean is that you have a 120 mm frame/fork spacing on an older 10 speed bike. I bought this to upgrade a 1980's Schwinn 10 speed (which had 120 mm frame spacing) to a 12 speed. The original wheel was worn out so I bought a new alloy rear wheel and this freewheel fit perfectly. I'm not sure this would have worked on the original bike wheel due to spacing /size of the washers, lock nuts etc. This unit is a thread-on freewheel which includes the gears.

Yes. I used the cassette from the original Schwinn rims. Rims are aluminum. There is a seam where the ends were joined.

I wish i could say yes or no. Your model looks bigger then mine. To be honest since it was just one weight i never went to trouble of trying it on mine. I just bought some aggressive rear tire . sorry i am no help.

Typically your wheel size will be SMALLER than your tire size. For example, a wheel rim of 26x1.5 can support a tire size of 26x1.75. On the existing rim that came with the bike, there should be an inscription of the rim size. Since you are using a tire size of 26x1.75, I would recommend a wheel size of 26x1.5. Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

I have not had any issues.... I would loosen the back tire and check the alignment and re-tighten.

I had an old Trek bike from 1993 with a warped rear wheel with similar model to yours. I replaced it with one of these generic 26" x 1.5" rear wheels and it worked fine. I needed to buy a Park tool and a 10" adjustable wrench to get the flywheel off ( extra $12 or so ) but after that no problem. There are You Tube videos showing how to get it off

Look at the metal wheel you want to put the tire on. There should be writing on the wheel, what size the wheel is 26x1.5, for example. Then you need to buy a tire for that size wheel. I can not give a yes/no answer. Or try to look up the bike specifications online and get ggat info that way. Good luck!

the s-7 tires are made for old Schwinn bikes. schwinn had different wheel sizes than other bike manufacturers. buy 26x2.25 and not s7

No problem your bike will not be changed unless the rear skewer doesn't work which is unlikely and there is nothing to changing that. There is a skewer in the box if you need it. I run an older rear wheel that has a very worn tire which works very well.

Hi, I had a 10 speed Shimano cassette mounted on this wheel, and it fit without issue.

Hello there... Your current tires are 26" diameter and will fit wheels between 1.5 - 1.75" wide. The Schwinn tires are 26" diameter and 1.95" wide and should fit your current wheel.I hope this helps!
