Will this fit my 1977 schwinn varsity and will it take a 5 speed freewheel?

I have a 70s schwinn roadbike as well...If you are referring to the fact that older bikes have a 125 mm rear fork spacing, rather than the newer, wider, forks, then yes, this wheel fit my bike without any adjustments. I have a 6-speed freewheel, it works just fine...I would assume a 5-speed would work too.

Hi, I had a 10 speed Shimano cassette mounted on this wheel, and it fit without issue.

Not sure, but it fit mine with disk brakes. Make sure your bike has the holes for the bolts at the bottom

Yes, this is a screw on type sprocket for an older bike--if you have a newer model you will need a cassette not a freewheel, also note you will need a Parks tool to remove and install a freewheel sprocket.

No you need a FreeWheel type sprocket 6,7,or 8 speed available here http://www.amazon.com/sprocket-bicycle-chain-complete-accessories/forum/Fx3UFVVOO3Q29FB/Tx2DIFYOFGFJTR6/1?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B000AO9KUC&cdEmailView;=8b290b24-c1b7-4323-9388-0ac7910c1df6.Tx2DIFYOFGFJTR6&cdShowAnswer;=1&forceSignin;=1

To my knowledge, the only way that I know of to upgrade to a 6-speed freewheel without serious modifications would be to use a Suntour Ultra-6, which I use on my (now) 12-speed vintage, and have had no problems. A 7-speed would be too large (wide) for this hub as well as too wide for standard vintage dropouts. Hope this helps

I do not know. Go to cheapparts.com and they will have a parts list for your bike.

Sorry, it will not. It fits 1986-1999 5-speed Softail models (except Fatboy and FLSTN). Sorry, we do not sell supports for your model.

It should, I used it for MTB single speed conversion. At the time and still might be, it was marked as free return, for the price it's great too. Good luck.

It's 100mm front and 120mm rear ! It says it on the feature section! And depending on your bike if it old or vintige you probably need different axles but if it's a bike that uses 700c rims then you should be fine

So the distance between a 5, 6, and 7 speed freewheel/cassette is different. The less cogs, the more distance. Most likely this will not work well with a 5 speed indexed freewheel. There are 5 speed shift mechanisms out there, just search up for them.

The wheel fit right into a 1970's Schwinn Super Sport. I think that dropout width is either 120 or 126mm. Most fixed gear and single speeds are built around that narrow rear width.

Probably yes. since it is for 7 speeds, it will probably do fine for 6 speeds, since it is a fairly standard derailleur, though you may have to make adjustments in the cable tension and/or stops. Also, note that this attaches to the axle bolt. So make sure that's how your bike holds its current derailleur. Look at http://sheldonbrown.com/speeds.html

If you are running a 7 speed cassette it should work. Use a new chain and all should be good

No clue. I bought it for my Schwinn Airdyne but didn't end up using it as I was hoping it would put me further forward but it didn't I have it for sale on ebay. Brand new still!!!

Yes, our Schwinn bikes are 21 speed and they fit. They were a little longer than the ones already on the bike but not enough to make a problem
