Schwinn_addiction it'll be cool if possible post how to fix restore/rebuild schwinn stingray parts :example atom drum 3 speed /5 speed and speedometer? Hard to find core videos of this and new to the hobby and sometimes feel like I hit a dead end wall . Thanks in advance
@@Schwinn_Addiction how about a video on the size of wrenches to use for removal of crank and the head tube. Crescent wrench is not an option for me as it moves and I don’t want to damage the hardware.
As always Rico, thanks for the knowledge your dropping. From look throughs to exercise wheels. All bases covered. Is there any tire company’s that still make the Schwinn white walls with the westwind name?
Sadly, no. They were repoped in the 90s. And no longer made. You'll have to find a collector with a big stash hoarded. They might let go of a pair. You might come across some on Ebay every now and then. But they rarely pop up. I remember back in early 2000. Manny's in Venice had some tires, I thought he said $15 each, so I was like " I'll take them" but he's like no, $50 each. I was like , thats too much. But Now adays that's a real good and cheap price. I should have snagged them.😢
@jaimefernandez3076 I'm pretty sure all the stingrays used the slik. With the introduction of the poular Krate that year, which sported a Slik. The Deluxes had a white wall slik.
I know on 26 inch beach cruisers they sell 26 by “2”3/4 white whale tires that make s7s look like s2 ballooon tires. Do you know if they do similar for stingray. I would love to use s7s but get the slick back offset look???
@nopalboxellanos925 I've never heard of that. But there is a Slik for S7 called the Gripper slik. I looked up that tire, and I didn't find anything. But I did find the 26x2x1 3/4 Fit S-7. Which is a weird size. I haven't seen it in person to really see how it compares, but maybe I can go to the bike shop and see if they have one in stock.
You know, it costs a lot of money to get reproduction tires compared to ones for normal rims, but at least I can say I run my Sting-Ray with the original rims!
@@yourlocaldoomer ya, the way I see it. I'll get original tires for show bikes, not ridden. But I'll use any schwinn fit tire for my riders. The old original stuff will blow out if ridden.
Very informative video, thank you! Could you post a video discussing Schwinn bolts (S, AS, Q) and what years and models they were used on
@@Cornflakecolony good topic. I'll be sure to get on that video.

Yes, thank you for the suggestions. I'll be sure to do those in up coming videos. Feel free to add more suggestions and I'll see what I can do.
I've done those in the past and wish I would have made videos. But it's not to hard to do it again.
@@Schwinn_Addiction if you don’t mind I would like to see one on how to install the speedometer on the bike piece by piece. Thanks!

@@Schwinn_Addiction yeah they go for twice as much now. Which rear tire is correct for a 1968 stingray deluxe and standard stingray?

@@Schwinn_Addiction which bike used the black slik with white lettering?
@@jaimefernandez3076 I believe that was the 1971 Grey ghost only. I'll have to check to be sure.
