Does it have to go ALL the way in? I have a 1972 Schwinn Continental and both sides refuse to go the last few millimeters! Suggestions?

When i used mine on an older bicycle it also wouldn't go in all the way. i had to shave it down to clear a notch and it fit perfectly, hope this helps.

It will need to go all the way into the bottom bracket housing as it was designed to do. As for the reasons it isn't setting all the way into the housing, could be you have some other tubing that's obstructing it. If this is the case, you can either use a file and file the obstruction down to the housing wall or use a rotary grinder. I bought a knock-off dremel-like tool from Menards for $10 and it worked just fine. Best of luck!

Also, these things are hard to get in, just like any old school bearing cone. I've always had to belt mine in flush with a soft mallet (I don't own a press).

mine went all the way in but I don't understand why it would have to as long as it's tight.The bottom bracket is sealed anyway,this just holds it in place.

Yes I have a Schwinn Meridian adult trike. My husband had to bend it to make it fit. The ride I have now is wonderful compared to the original seat

Mine go in but it is a Really TIGHT Fit. Seems like the negative spring is super tight, I pushed from the + end with a plastic knife.

My touring bike has a Rohloff grip shifter on the right side. I used a stock set of Ergons and cut the one side to fit w/o problem.

it has been about a year so I can't remember too many details...except to say that the two pedals are not both "right-handed" screws on unicycles / bikes (so that they won't automatically loosen w/ use). Try to tighten (by hand!) the other direction. To answer the support question, probably no where available, and I'm not even sure it is "M Wave" b/c ours says "FUN" as the brand!

Jess, sorry this took so long!! Ken is right, I also used Kenda 700X 35/43 Schrader Long Valves. Had to go to an actual bike shop that was an authorized Schwinn dealer. Normal stores that carry Schwinn products will NOT have these tubes, they are too 'special'. Oh, when I went to the bike shop, just brought the front tire with me and the gentlemen found what I needed in seconds. Good luck!!

First time I used it I had to mount the inside bike vertical (so it missed the spare tire) and the outside bike horizontal. I've mounted them both horizontal and vertical but you have to trial and error to find the right way.

The bar will not go left or right, however the locking teeth go all the way to the bottom. At some point it will make contact with your frame. My bike has a "V" type frame and makes contact a little lower. Check your local bike shops to see if anyone carries Swagman racks. I am completely satisfied with my rack other than the fact it a little bulky to store. Bikes ride well and does not effect gas mileage like my previous rack. Hope this helps. Hobie, Mobile,AL

Make sure you have the rack installed properly in your hitch. It seems like it goes either way, but it doesn't. This happened to me, and I reversed the position and now it is as solid as a rock. We put two mountain bikes on with no problem, but they have to face opposite directions. Also, the rack pivots down if you pull the lower lever for ease of getting the bikes in the holders.

The centet hinge is a little tricky. Are you sure you can't pull it up. I have to pull mine up before I can swivel it to the side. I find it easiest to do while stratling the bike!

I have a schwinn and when I ordered mine I was worried it was not the right size because the description didn't match what I was being told. But even my local bike store said it should fit and it did. Not sure if that helps you but good luck.

There is an attachment on the tip where you can switch it between presta and schrader. All the parts should be in there! I had to mess around with both bike tires (one of each kind) to figure it out but it works!

T. Yuan was right- I'm surprised anyone is using the bike like this or just stuffing stuff in there to make it tighter! that's pretty dangerous.... use the wrench that came with it, or your own wrench to tighten it and make the opening tighter once it's on the pole.

I clamped it to a 26.8 Schwinn Suburban seatpost. With its shape though, I think it's a little variable based on how much you screw it.

I just tried it with a wheel. And it worked. Looks like should be fine with the whole bike too.

I had to take my foot and pull the fork's apart about 1 inch. then it fitted perfect. have a man with good might do it for yeah. When they manufactured it, i think this was a check they didn't do. simple fix workout ok for me. I put my feet on the the inner part of the fork and pulled the opposite end with my hands, that bended/ opened the forks enough to fit the tire. Bike forks perfectly fine.

Since I replaced the bottom bracket with a sealed cartridge, I've had a similar problem. The looseness is on the right side at the bolt closest to the bottom bracket. Although the problems is with the bolt on the right side, that makes the pedal on the left feel loose.But I recently replaced the wedge pins and it seems better now. I may have had the pin facing the wrong direction. If you put in all the pins facing the front, half of them will be backwards!
