Can I purchase this rim to replace my rear rim of my bike. I have an older 5 speed Schwinn Continental and this rim size matches it, but the description says 'Front Rim'

No! This will Only work on the front. There is no way to attach your rear gear set to it. They also sell a Rear wheel for a Freewheel. That's what you need.

A bike wheel is made of three parts. Hubs, spokes, and the rim. Rims are interchangeable front/rear. Hubs are not interchangeable.There is a slightly more expensive wheel listed by the same seller, which is a rear wheel; otherwise when you get this one, you have to change over the hubs.A word of forewarning: these aren't heavy-duty rims, and you may have to periodically true them. These are quick-release, too, so make sure to tighten them properly.

I have purchased both for my 27 Schwinn, 1979 model, and all fits. had to pry fork at front to make rim seat properly but had no problems with either. good for touring as well

It measures 20mm across the brake track. It's a standard rim. It was an exact replacement for the Matrix rims on my 1985 Trek 600. It laced right in with the same hub and spokes. It has given good service so far. The material is not hardened, so wear may increase unless soft pads are used.

Yes it is. Which is a standard mountain bike rim size. Its a great rim. Have had it on now for almost a year and have put it through some abuse. Works great, but you will need sprocket spindle from your old wheel.

I don´t know if it will fit, I guess so because it´s a kind of universal way to fix it. Anyway, the part that you use in the front does not fix rigth. If you ride in trails with stones and holes, this part will not stay in the bike. The back part if fine and can handle with all terrains.

No it does not fit. Don't buy it because it will not work. I have a Cannondale also and I couldn't use the rim because it's not compatible. Just go to a bike shop and pay the extra cash and you will avoid a lot of trouble.

I have a schwinn and when I ordered mine I was worried it was not the right size because the description didn't match what I was being told. But even my local bike store said it should fit and it did. Not sure if that helps you but good luck.

I have had trouble in the past with getting the tires to fit a small rim....they are wide. I would encourage trying it out at a bike shop first before ordering them. I was able to get them on my bike but mine were 700x28c. That is the smallest I think i would go. They were somewhat difficult to fit....and barely did at that!

Yes. I used the cassette from the original Schwinn rims. Rims are aluminum. There is a seam where the ends were joined.

To answer the first question, the size I purchased was the 700x28c. I could not tell you if it fit into my frame (which fits a 28c Continental Hardshell Gatorskin in the rear and a 25C Conti Hardshell Gatorskin in the front) because I could not get the tires onto my rims. The 700c part was not true. I have had many other tires on those wheels but this one was sized smaller than a true 700c. So to answer the second question, since I never got the tires onto the wheels and therefore the bike I could not tell you how they handle on any type of surface. The price point these tires are usually sold at make them look like a good deal, but I would advise you to go with a German made model from Continental as opposed to any model made anywhere else (I believe these tires were made in India). The handmade German tires have always proven to be produced under tight quality control, in my experience. I cannot say that about non-German made Continentals.

Most old bicycles had 27' 1 1/4 wheels, but there were some 27' 1 3/8 that were Schwinn wheels and they took the 1 3/8 tires. I have used 27 1 1/4 wheels as replacement. Try to make certain you get a dual wall rims, and not a single wall, as the dual wall wheels are lighter and stronger for the road.

The wheel is the main component of the kit. You could buy the kit "as is", and have a bike shop replace the rim with a rim size of your choice. Just know that the hub motor is fairly heavy and needs a suitable rim.

What you probably mean is that you have a 120 mm frame/fork spacing on an older 10 speed bike. I bought this to upgrade a 1980's Schwinn 10 speed (which had 120 mm frame spacing) to a 12 speed. The original wheel was worn out so I bought a new alloy rear wheel and this freewheel fit perfectly. I'm not sure this would have worked on the original bike wheel due to spacing /size of the washers, lock nuts etc. This unit is a thread-on freewheel which includes the gears.

Hello,You'll need a 5x4.5 bolt pattern. These wheels have been discontinued in your bolt pattern. Thanks,Ryan BolandWheel Specialist

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.

if the sidewall on your old tires say 26" x 1 3/8" then yes. sizes for these middle/lightweight bikes were tricky as they use 3 or 4 26' size wheel and tire combos. I have a Schwinn, but it has MOCO or Murray rims, looks original but on a 50yr bike who knows. Good Luck...Mo
