Has anyone had issues installing this on a bike that doesn't have an easy pin that removes on the wheel but one that looks like a crank?

I have used mine on a quick release, and a screw on rear axel. Worked on bike with coaster brakes and disc.

Yes. I found that it is much easier to detach the pin from the mechanism and attach only the small black plastic piece. Once that's in, you simply slide in the green leader and secure with the metal pin.

OK a 'locking pin won't work unless you drill out the treaded insert on the bike rack. Actually this rack comes with a treaded pin that uses a 3/4 inch wrench. Rack theves will have to have a wrench, so no lock is nessary unless the theif's has a wrench. save the money no "lock" is nessary.

Nothing. The first bike I purchased had fully assembled, except for one pedal that would not screw in at all. It was a major pain to dissemble the bike completely and "try" to get it back into the carton so UPS could pick it up. The second bike assembled with no issues. About 9 months later I started having the same issue with the pedals coming off. I finally had enough and ended up giving the bike to a local charity since I rarely used it anymore. I suppose you could try super gluing the threads on the pedals or on the crank arm when re-attaching. Of course if you ever want to change out the pedals it may not be possible. Now that I think about it, I even had the same problems when I used a set of clipless pedals with the bike. So this leads me to believe there is an issue with the the treads on the crank arm.

It is somewhat true that mounting the lock to your bike is troublesome, I had no luck with actual "mounts"; but I have managed to create a solution. Now I don't know if it is applicable to all types of bike frames but you can find photos of my solution on my profile page. I find this solution to produce no wiggling or giggling, it's very stable, very silent and very reliable.Basically I carry the "U" part - which is infinitely lighter - in my backpack and attach the heavy yellow lock part to the frame under the seat, on top of the triangles.

The one I installed REALLY went into the wheel. It wasn't a problem for me. BUT use longer bolts if it's an issue.

It doesn't take too long to setup/remove. It is a little awkward to align it right. I thought it was a little awkward to get on the bike after it's setup. You have to be careful you don't tip. It is also noisy. Consequently, I haven't used it much. I have knobby tires on my bike, so I'm not sure if putting smooth tires on would help. Haven't gotten around to doing that.

I don't think I had the same problem. Use an appropriate sized bronze bushing or even a few washers on either side of the clutch-it doesn't matter really just make sure it doesn't slide around. Or you could cut the end of the crank shaft, but I wouldn't unless you know what you're doing.

Did you put the lock pin outside and insert it in the hole above bolt or else handlebars need to be straighten

I am so sorry, I have never had that problem. I would have a Schwinn expert help you with that. Sorry, and best wishes.

In short, yes. It's one-piece freewheel that screws on. You don't need any tools, hand-tight is fine (but snug it down), it will tighten up as you pedal. And put a little grease on the threads first. You will probably need a tool to remove the old freewheel though. More info: http://sheldonbrown.com/freewheels.html

I don't think it can be removed without destroying it. That being said, I don't see how removing it would affect the operation of the crankset.

I had no issues with mine. I did have to wiggle it a little to get the pin in but nothing major.

I got mine yesterday (5/14/14), and the pin issue has been fixed. It has a bolt now like the picture in the description. I will try to upload a picture if I can figure out how, but at least the pair I got does not have a pin. I haven't used them yet, but they look and feel sturdy to me and the grips feel much nicer than my old wooden handle ones.

I replaced the BB ON MY Gaint/ Boulder SE Mt. bike, my cranks had a female fine thead on the cranks arms my puller threaded into the cranks then the bolt on my puller screw into the puller and push against the square taper shaft on the bb and remove the cranks on bb. you may have to remove dust covers on crank arms to see thread on the cranks

I just finished assembling this bike less than an hour ago; so, this is still fresh in my mind. I had a bit of trouble with this as well. First, make sure everything is lined up straight and the screw holes are open. You may need to turn the screw through each of the holes (before assembling) to open them up if they are not drilled open all the way. I also found that it took a bit of "elbow grease" to get the screw to go all the way in as it is supposed to do. The first few turns of the screwdriver are difficult, then it screws in smoothly. Perhaps there is a holding material on the inside of the handlebars that you have to get through, I'm not sure. I hope this helps; good luck!

I'm having the same problem and am beginning to feel kinda stupid. How far through did the holes go? I mean there is one hole in the handlebars, and then two through the post, but it seems like there should be another hole on the other side of the handlebars that should "recieve" the screw. Am I right?

I still have problems. I took it apart to adjust the sensor, but the booklet I have shows it being oh so easy, yet my bike has a plate covering it. I guess I have to take it down further. I will buy from Walmart next time.
