I need to replace the crankset but know very little about what I need. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I replaced the original crankset that comes with this bike (which is actually pretty bad) with a shimano tourney crankset (Shimano FC-A070 Crankset 50/34 x 170mm 7 spd Tourney Black Road Bike). The only special tool that you will need is a crank puller for square taper cranks. You can find a lot of different models in amazon. Any of them can do this job pretty well. Finally, you may need other ordinary tools such as an adjustable spanner and a socket set. And just make sure that the socket walls are not so thick (such as those used for heavy duty jobs), so that you can insert the socket to remove the protection bolt from the crankset (you can see the bolt by removing the plastic cap that covers the crank).

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...

Hi Carlos; all the answers are good but I particularlly like Skips answer. I might add, Shimano UN55 is a square taper bottom bracket and the crankset has to be square taper also. Good luck.

I think the tool you are referring to is the FC 16 which is a plastic piece to do one side of the crank. The tool that is what you really need is the Park BBT 9 or the Shimano TL- FC 32. I have the BB 9 and it made the job a breeze. Bob

It is for a threaded freewheel, old style. You can get them new for like 15$ at a bike shop. Not sure if the new style screws on? Mine was for a replacement on an 81 Miyata.

Should be a pretty standard bike chain. I would suggest removing and taking it to a local bike shop for replacement. You can probably just lubricate the chain and continue using it.

I ordered this because it came up on google search. we got the part number or model number off of the unit that was on our bike.believe it or not the manufacture of the bike had changed the part enough that we could not use it. other than that i could not assist you as to weather this would fit your bike,

Measure your bottom bracket to be sure, but this is the most common size I've run into while replacing bottom brackets on bikes I fix. Provided your crank is a square taper and not an octalink or something like that.

Look if the manual of your bike or the crank arm specifies the size, or if the size might be stamped on the existing pedal.If DIY no documentation available: Measure the hole diameter on the crank arm (at the inner side, opposite to the pedal) or take one of the original pedals off your bike and measure the threaded part, you'll need a caliper for that. (That's how I did :-)Hint: Clerks at (small) hardware stores and of course bike shops or fellow experienced bikers also could help with that.

I couldn't find a match for your bike. You should call Motobatt at (877) 232-5878. I hope this helps

Call Schwinn. Have the model number and stuff ready. You might be able to get them through a bike shop too.

It may or may not fit that bike. It depends on the kind of crankset you have because you will need to remove the outer chainring on the pedals and install this in its place. Depending on the component level of your bike, you may or may not be able to remove the chainring, or it may have 4 bolts instead of 5. Also, this will not fit on any crankset as an addition! Again, this part is a replacement for your outer chainring to help with chain retention if you're in bumpy terrain.

I have a wierd bike and I had to make adjustments for my bike. Try a bike store, they may be able to help.

The pedals come in either 1/2" or 9/16". Just measure the diameter of the part that screws into your crank for the measurement that your bike needs

There are two sizes of pedal shafts, 9/16 and 1/2 in. Yours is probably a 9/16. To be absolutely sure take off one of your pedals and measure the diameter of the shaft were it threads in to the crank arm. Secondly, buy a better set of pedals than these, both sets I purchased began making noise soon after use. Both sets went into the trash.

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.
