What is the difference between the Z410 and the Z710? If the bike comes with the Z410 can I swap them?
1816518
The Z710 is designed to be a lighter chain. It has cutouts in the links, so there is less metal and therefore less weight. If you look at the reviews for the Z710, it seems to be a different audience of racers and fixie "weight weenies" - not that there is anything wrong with that. The Z710 is reputed to be a very good lighter weight chain that doesn't break as much as its competition or the stock chains. If you have a single speed cruiser or internal gear hub (IGH) 3 speed or similar, the Z410 would be fine and considered pretty much bombproof. If weight is a concern, the Z710 is probably the way to go. Both chains are the same size 1/2" x 1/8".

Call up Schwinn. They are nautilus now I believe. Make sure they they send out your order. Have your amazon reciept ready from the bike.

Hi, I have a z225 too, just installed them, and cutting with them now. No issues and good cut. You should be good to go.

I think you should take your bike to a local bike shop. The bicycle mechanic can answer this question by looking at the way your gears are placed on the bike.This Shimano freewheel should replace a freewheel of the same number of gears. The mechanic will be familiar with this freewheel and can give you a clear answer.

Hi, Looking at a picture of your current shifter I would say you will have no problem switching the EF51. I switched from the OEM shifter on a Trek 990 last Fall and am very happy with the conversion. The EF51 comes with new cable sets that are much longer than you need for your bike. You may be able to reuse your cable sheaths and just use the new inner cable (if diameters are compatible). If you need to use the new cable and cut it to size you will need a "cable cutter" or do what I did and use a sharp side cutter and then remove the burr at the end of the sheath with a grinding wheel. I didn't get a lot of riding in this Fall before winter set in but once I got everything dialed in the new sets were smooth and precise. Jim

Answer is.... NO. This really annoyed me that they come as a single plate and screw but, some people might need to fix jusr one plate. This replacement plate makes the shifters look so much better than the default ones that come on the 5600s. Completed the look of my custom top to bottom bike at the time. They are interchangeable as you might imagine. $20 for 2 is around the going rate....probably costs shimano $2 for the pair...but the look is much better in all black. The 5700s are all black. Hope that answers your questoin. :)

Mainly asthetics. Both are 2x1 activation and Shimano compatable. Should be interchangeable.

This bike mostly has the same cheap components as the one I bought. The frame is similar but slightly different. It looks like this bike has better trigger shifters and a better rear deraileur. If so, it may be worth the difference in price. If you live near a large university and you can hold off until May or June, there are good deals to be had from students selling their bikes at the end of the school year.

Its a definate maybe. There are more things that I would need to know before anyone can answer that question. Although this might be a little over kill given that you are only going to need 2 of them instead of 4. It's nice to have for if your going to use it on other bikes as well. Generally though if it is a dual carb only one of them is adjustable in which case you can tune by sound. I have seen a few that both are tunable but not extremely often. If you can get me more info on the bike I can give you a more direct answer(year make and model would be very helpful) but in more cases than not yes this will work for you. Its a definate maybe.

Yes, with a little work..... The 8/9/10 cassette is 4.5mm wider then the 7speed, so the 7speed will be too short (this wheel has a freewheel designed for the 8/9/10 cassette. Luckily there are spacers available for a couple of bucks...Search for 7 speed spacer and you should find one easily. The only caveat I will warn about is that if your cassette is not Shimano/SRAM then you may run into issues there too. But then a 7 speed cassette is easily found for $15-20 and do not forget that you will need appropriate tools for the switch (or go to your local Bike Shop). Yes, with a little work.....

The CS-6700 can be considered a direct replacement. The only difference is in the shifting ramps which Shimano claims the CS-6700 was "optimized for crisper shifting, especially under load".

I actually had a 2007 Z1000 before my ZX-14, great bike, wheelie bike, hope you're enjoying yours! These saddlebags are very adjustable as far as getting the perfect fit on your bike. In my opinion I think they will be fine on your Z. I would highly suggest them if you are looking for quality. Don't go with the cheap stuff. These have the pads to protect your paint, they have the heat shield on the bottom of the bags. Quality bike luggage. So yes they will fit well.

I can´t certainly response to you question because I already installed... but I have two sensors.. one for speed and one for cadence.. speed is shorther than cadence.. don´t worry they will fit you bike, I have a Large frame and it fit correctly... I was worry about cadence sensor but it fit perfectly.. the other one.... you wouldn´t have any troubles...

First, I don't know. I have found calling Shimano Customer Service line to be very helpful when I had the same question. But in my experience as long as the number of speeds is the same, and the largest/smallest sprocket size is the same, you should be OK. Again, you should call Shimano to confirm. It is based on the derailleur, and in my case, I discovered from Shimano customer service that I was able to keep my same derailleur when I made my switch.

first, if your bike has road bike style crankset, then there are no 22t sprockets for it. though a mtb crank will fill a 22t. second a 32t cassette will get you up any hill with a 30t crank sprocket. also the 11-32 has a smoother gear ratio between sprocket then 12-34. If you decided to swap cassette, make sure that your chain is long enough as well as your derailleur cage.

Pulled up a pic of the fx7.2 and I don't see why it wouldn't work. My wife and I swap the toter between our bikes and is super easy take off and on. Best kids seat we've ever had
