I am trying to install the bike, the front wheel couldn't fit on the front fork. The opening on the front fort is too narrow. Help.

It should easily slide into the fork. It appears you may have a faulty bike. I'd contact the seller.

Unless you have a defect, the only thing I can think of is the tire hanging up on the brake pads. The wheel's center screw mount should stick out through both fork c shaped ends. The fork isn't bent really bad is it?

U have to take the break pads off in order to make it fit. Then put it back on.

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.

I would make sure the fork isn't bent because I didn't have any problem putting together my little girls bike together sorry I couldn't be more help

That's a mighty wide seat post. Most are thinner. Remove nut from the tightening screw. Must remove seat post from the frame and slip it up from the bottom. May need to remove the rubber washer/spacer. Apply nut back into the nut-sized depression. Tighten. You may have a very nice bike...and heavy-duty also with a frame that big. Good luck. I specialize in old Schwinns and Raleighs. Have fun!

I had purchased a couple different "Ditca" freewheels and neither fit. I finally ordered a Shimano SF-1200 and it fit perfectly.

I'm sure it will fit on the rim. Just check to see if the old tire has adequate side clearance to the forks for the extra 1/4" wider (1/8" each side). Most of the BMX-style bikes have plenty of clearance. Also, get a new tube for a few bucks. You'll be glad when you never have to change tires/tubes again on that bike. The kids will only be on it for a few years at most.

Not sure, but I was one of the unlucky ones to get a defective bike. The front wheel didn't fit between the tubing. I sent it back and ended up going to a bike shop.

That is what I did and I don't really recommend it. I used framing hardware as an adaptor but it does not work as well as the one that was stock on her 20" bike. The frame has holes for a break but this did not fit the princes bike we bought at Costco.

I couldn't either. Take it with you to a bike repair shop & ask them if it's right for your bike. It wouldn't attach to mine. I returned it.

My husband removed the front wheel from trailer and attached trailer to wheel hub of his mountain bike. I've posted images for you here. Hope it helps. --- http://jlsousa.smugmug.com/Schwinn-Scout-Bicycle-Trailer/ --- Please let me know if you have any other questions. All the best.

On the first try, I accidentally had the fork turned around backwards. Make sure it's facing the right direction (look at the decals). That was the only problem I had. Hope this works for you!

Sorry to hear about your theft - seems like nothing is sacred anymore. The clamp for post tightens up to hold it on to frame & also adjusts onto seat. My post is approximately 1" wide. A bike shop can help you. Good luck. Carol

I agree with Arlind. You need to know the size of the hole in the bottom of your steerer tube. There also is the issue of clearance around the fairing at that area of the bike. Too bad you couldn't find one of the owners of this wheel stand in your area who could let you do a test fit.

It is the back wheels that would give you trouble..too tall when bike on its side. Don't remove the front wheel because of the gear assembly.

It was too big for my bike and I couldn't get it to work. Maybe with some drilling and extra brackets it might work. It just looked real big.

Yes, it will fix that size bike, you have to cut the stirrer to fit the frame. But I would go with a higher quality fork.I use it on my bad weather bike, which works fine, but not for hardcore riding.

I think so. Depending on the length of the head tube on the frame you may have to cut the steer tube (Carefully with a hack saw) on the fork and or add/subtract a spacer or two. You can find youtube videos on cutting the tube if you have to.

There is a clamp that is further to bottom that probably needs to be tighter than what it already is. The same thing happened to my son. If that does not work try taking it to the nearest bike shop to see if they know what to do.

That would depend on the space between the fork. It would be 10mm wider. It is always recommended that you use the size specified, unless you've changed your wheel.
