My Shwinn 112 upright occasionally makes a thumping sound once per revolution, so I've wanted to remove the shroud, and see if there's something in there that I can tighten. I've learned that you need something called a crank puller or bike press, this vid looks like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4r8PwKxAOM

I took my schwinn 213 to a local bire repair shop to replace the crank arms with more verticle ones. They have special tools to repace the arms but could not get replacements that were any different than the original (flared out at an angle) from their distributors. I hace troube with the flared angle when peddling. Any luck with your question? All Smith.

You might want to go to YouTube and enter "Freewheel Replacement". There are a number of videos that explain the process. You will need a Shimano freewheel removal tool that you can get online or at a bike shop.

I had the same question! I was attemptying to replace only the cable on mine, because that's all that was broken. But I was not able to find just the cable, or more specifically; the part of the cable that hooks into the wheel and spins with the cable to make it work! After years of looking. This one simply hooks between the front wheel fork, and the hub/spokes. Simple and easy. Good luck!

sure but if you are going to change crank you may have to change cassette so check bike shop. I had a problem with my wheel hub so I had change wheels.

Sorry to hear about your problem. My suggestion is to contact Schwinn manufacturer. Probably an easy fix.

It should work just fine. Honestly I removed my crank from a fixie so I'm not sure if it will work for the specific crank you want to remove. But give it a try

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.

There are 2 screws to remove it. Look inside the 2 holes on the arm. Philips head screwdriver, and you are done.

Go to a local bike shop that sells tools. That is how I got mine. There are a couple different styles of tools and you need to get the right one.

I went to my local bicycle store and they were able to replace it. Expect to pay between 20-40$ but it can easily be replaced.

Replacing the crank set is really not that difficult. The hardest thing I think is deciding how much you want to spend. Crankset can cost up to $500 and more. If you are not changing the derailleurs, you probably need to get a crankset with the same number of chainring as the old one. check out this video "How To... Replace Your Crankset" on youtube . I'm sure there are other videos that can help. Good luck...

Sorry, I don't have an answer. Mine is still in the (very beat-up box) and I'm waiting for my son to help me figure it out. And if the bike is as damaged as the box, I'm in big trouble. Hope some one else can help you! JoanC

I believe you do need special tools and had mine replaced at a bike shop. You can take a look at the following below:http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/how-to-replace-a-bike-cassette-video-18234/

go with a different company, my tires have each blown out, the pedals stripped the cheap threads on the cranks. and honestly I'm affraid the entire frame might just explode. The cranks aren't under warranty either by the way.

Being a happy owner of this exercycle your question is a very good one. I just looked at my bike and it appears that it has exactly the type of pedals that are replaceable. They are threaded into the crank levers just like a bicycle.

Count teeth on the crank you have if its the same it will fit. the other measurement is the length of the arm. Just measure the distance from the pedal to the center of the crank.
