Anyone got a number for the Schwinn agents?

Thanks I will talk with them on monday

True, I will look into repairing it. I will ask Schwinn if they can recommend anyone who can do the repair.

Hi Had my Schwinn Fast Back Elite for about three months now. Took my bottle cage off to mount a pump yesterday, and realized that the little lug that has the thread in it that is braze/welded onto the frame is turning inside the frame. (I did not over tighten it it came loose when I was loosing the bottle cage) The thread is ok, but the lug has come loos on the frame. Is this repairable, or should I see if Schwinn would replace the frame??

S/S is only stainless under certain conditions. My favourite is when someone wipes the s/s with and oily rag.Guess what will happen.Rust. Keep carbon steel,oil,chlorines,halogen,sulphur and a multitude ofother products away from it and its fine....for its purpose at least. And hereby do we invite the wrath of JB. Is that really true?

Hi Any issues with replacing some of the bolts o my bike with stainless?? especially bolts that hold caliper onto frame?

thanks mampara, I looked on the site, but didn't see it

Do you have a name/number?

tried the reach adjustment screw, no luck

anyome know who can repair/service these in SA?

thanks, but already tried that, made no difference. Its almost as though the spring inside is broken

Hi Avid Juicy five brake levers: My front brake lever is not returning to its normal position once compressed. The caliper is fine, and the brakes are not dragging. So when I pull the brakes, the lever is really slow to return to its normal position, almost like the piston inside the lever side is getting stuck. I have bled the brakes, made no difference. Any idease?

Like I said, they didnt fall of a truck, they were gifts, I promise..

Very intresting question. Now on a slightly different topic, I have 6 bikes for sale, all brand new never been ridden, all top end. I will give you a great price,well below retail, also I only take cash, also we can only meet at the public park, or your house They were a present for my err, um wife......

Anyone sell the service kits and oil online??

thanks guys

Hi Probably a really silly question.

Thanks for the heads up dirty twin.

is wynflon a wet lube?

Hi Just as a matter of interest what is the most widely used chain lube in SA. I use squirt, it works great but I don't enjoy the "waxy gunk" build up around chain rings and cassette that I seem to get with this product.

your a mountain biker, what do you need a shower for???

So, who is going to build themselves a tool board

sorry legend, I didnt read the post correctly, maybe I should take the hammer and hit myself over the head..

Chat to Johan Bornman about wheel building courses and so on... IS that in CT??

Forgot to mention I also put a new pump in the washing machine. Just retro fitted my house with down lighters, replaced all the switches on the walls, and just about to put new piston and rings in my old two stroke lawn mower. So I guess I do kind of know how to use my tools, the question is do you??
