I have 175 in my Medium bike. MTB specialized came with 170 in Small size. So it dependend in your heigh. If you have small legs 170 will help you.

I've used both 34mm and 36mm VM carbs on XS650s, for street the 34 gives better midrange, the 36 is better on a track bike. Either one responds well to extended intake manifolds. Jetting is pretty easy on these carbs but if you go too big on bore size it gets hard to jet at smaller throttle openings

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.

Compared to what? I have mine on a hard tail mountain bike which I have been mainly riding on a concrete trail for aerobic exercise. Seems to be a gear or two difference (easier) from Specialized Fast Track LK which had a tread overlap that *almost* gave a solid center bead. I like the Schwalbe and would buy it again. I Also like the built-in puncture guard.

I am also 5 ft tall and unfortunately do not find the Schwinn 431 comfortable. Maybe I have short arms! I cannot use the arms without overreaching and getting unbalanced. My husband is trying to modify it as I type. I urge anyone considering any kind of sports equipment to try it out and do so with the proper technique Before Buying! Every body is proportionately different even if you are the same size and weight! Good Luck!

I preferred a 175. Now I have a road bike and use 172.5. It's really what you prefer.

It isn't just a matter of gearing as some are suggesting here...Fixed gear bikes often have a narrower rear dropout (like 110 or 120 mm vs. 130 or 135mm).

Well, let me see. If your Schwinn has a conventional crankset connected by a conventional bottom bracket then the Shimano UN55 should work. back in the early days, 1950's and before, Schwinn used to build bikes with a one piece crank. The UN55 won't work on that type (unconventional) of crank. If your Schwinn originally came with a 2 piece crankset with square taper BB interface, the UN55 is correct for you. Now keep in mind that the UN55 X 68MM is designed for a roadbike bottom bracket shell width. If you're dealing with a mountain bike it will be 73MM BB shell width. Also you will need to know the correct spindle length, they vary in length according to what is attached to the crank, drive side. Single, double or triple chainrings. Hope this helps.

Start at Schwinn.com then select Schwinn Fitness. Across the top there is a resources option, select that then select product manuals on the left. The Schwinn 130 is under upright bikes, there is a 2007 model and a 2013 model. Good luck!

Honestly I wouldn't spend a penny on this. Had its week and it broke on me. No hard riding either only just casual. If ur looking for a good derailleur, I'd start at shimano 105. My road bike has 105 competes and I have not had a problem at all

I am considering a 231 model. I have had a 201 model for 2.5 years.... had to have a flywheel in it for this exact problem after one year. ... now the 201 model is doing it again, and it is out of warranty. .... is the 231 built with better components?? By this post it sounds like it is not.. I bike on this a ton... every day. up to 80-100 miles on a good day. Seems like a waste if it is not. I bought Schwinn because I though the components were the best. .. and not so concerned about the bells and whistles. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I don`t remember but I can tell you not to waste your money on this model. Very poor quality. Buy the Schwinn Airdyne model that is all steel and weighs 96 lbs. It`s better made and because of it`s weight, you`ll get a better workout.

I'm 215 and have XC 30's on my trek 4500 and definately a big upgrade from what came stock. They come with a medium spring but you CAN get a stiffer spring if needed. Also, playing with the rebound and preload settings play a big part in dialing them in. I suppose it depends on what bike they are going on and how/where you ride. Just stay away from XC 28's as those will definitely bottom out on you lol.

The HR1000R is not strong enough to support the Schwinn Meridian trike. For a trike that heavy you would need the HR1450R with Trike Adapter 1. We'll get the HR1450R listed for you in the next business day if you'd like to purchase it.

I have had my Schwinn 430 since July of 07. My wife and I have used 4 times a week since July 07. We did have the squeek, but it worked itself out. I have had 0 problems with my machine. I would buy another if ever the need!

Yes -- the 231 was, sadly, discontinued. I emailed Schwinn, because the 231 was highly rated in Consumer Reports, and seemed to have better features than even the 240, but a Schwinn rep emailed me back and said the 240 is the replacement model to the 231. Blech! The 240 does seem to be superior to the 230, though, so I'll have to settle for that. I ordered the 240 today....it does get very good reviews overall. Good luck!
