Will this work on an old Schwinn 6 speed that's not indexed?

Probably yes. since it is for 7 speeds, it will probably do fine for 6 speeds, since it is a fairly standard derailleur, though you may have to make adjustments in the cable tension and/or stops. Also, note that this attaches to the axle bolt. So make sure that's how your bike holds its current derailleur. Look at http://sheldonbrown.com/speeds.html

Yup. I have two on my trike, one using friction shift levers on the stem and the other uses an indexed twist shifter on the handlebars.Both work fine.

Yes, I am using this on an old Specialized bike with a Suntour shifter set on friction (none indexed) and it works great.

I am not sure either. It works very well on my used Sears bicycle which is probably 30 years old.

This chain matches an 8 speed freehub or freewheel. That is, if you count the sprockets (cogs) on your rear wheel hub and you have 8 then this chain will probably work. Count the number of links in your old chain and use the same number for the new chain. If the new chain has more links you should remove some of them. Removal takes a chain tool.

Yes, if your bike has disc brakes and a cassette hub (as opposed to a freewheel hub). If you don't know what you have, take the bike to a bike mechanic - he/she will not charge you anything to tell you what you need.

Hello Jean, My understanding is that it works on the A10, A20, and A40 Schwinn regardless of year. Mine is older and it has worked fine. I have had two now. Donna

my Schwinn is a little older so I'm not sure but it was a direct fit on mine which is the Schwinn ez connect

I am sorry, but I do not know. I own a LeMond RevMaster. If the schwinn pedals are standard outdoor bike pedals it should work.

It will work with Shimano 3x7 front derail. Definitely index shift. I have this shifter and it works As good as more expensive models.

So long as the derailleur is properly adjusted, yes it should work. The indexing is in the shifters themselves, not in the derailleur. This assumes you are using either a Shimano or a SRAM rear cassette. You may experience issues with a Campagnolo cassette.

This will work with any chain that has 1" links,which is about 99.9 % of the chains in common use. (To be certain, just measure your chain from the center the of pin on one end of one link to the center of the pin on other end.) The number of gears is irrelevant: I've used it on 6, 8 and 10 speed chains (all Shimano). This is an excellent tool, by the way.

yes .you can even use index shifting if you like ----shimano spacing is the same for 6/7/8gears drives cassette or frewheel....... happy rides.

your current derailer should work, you may have to move it up a bit on the frame, but should be no problems

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 can only say it worked on our Schwinn 231 upright bike. I had no assurance it would work, but it did. Good luck, may need a leap of faith.

It will, but not as well as you think. A 6 speed freewheel has a larger cog distance from the next one, and a 7 speed freewheel/cassette is much closer. However, there are alternatives you can buy (Shimano Revo Shift 6 speed or SRAM MRX Comp 6 speed) that will match performance well. Also, when you get the indexing and limits correct, give the shift cable a good stretch, then readjust the indexing if necessary. This stretches the cable before leading to future shifting problems. As for the front, it will work perfectly.

It should, I used it for MTB single speed conversion. At the time and still might be, it was marked as free return, for the price it's great too. Good luck.

I put this one on a cheaper Huffy mountain bike with a solid straight shaft and a bearing set on either side! It was a great upgrade and worked perfect. Very simple to install and I think it should work on your bike with problem.
