Alright...another quick one.

Can I thread this style of freewheel onto this hub?



Not that exact one but something similar...



Oh man, I need to clean this thing up...

Holy shit dude! I've broken the chainstay on a iroh horse (chinese), but never did I think that sc's were the same...

It's either a heckler, or...
-norco
-commencial
-cannondale of somesort, that i will NOT run a lefty on
-stumpjumper is too much money for me, and i can't find a frame only

Let me see if I can get my scanner to work. You'll be pretty blown away. These were road frames that weighed in at 3.25lbs. My mountain frame was 2.75 and I still have it 12 years later. No bottom bracket shell failures. Its built out of Easton SC7000, the road frames were Easton Ultralight.

Here you go, I don't remember which one was the first or the second frame to fail. I didn't bother with pics of the 3rd one.

possibly.. you may need to re dish your wheel though. The chain line might not be spot on if you dont. It all depends though lol, Its hard for me to tell with out physically seeing it.

Starting to come together :D can't wait to have a bike to ride again :D

What kind of chain are you running on there?

Question...

Is a 700x28 tire supposed to fit a 27 x 1 1/4 wheel?

Nope. A 700c fits a 700c rim, a 27x1 1/4 fits a 27x 1 1/4 rim. The tubes will interchange to some degree, but the tires will not. The 27 is a specific Schwinn size. Sounds like its time to pick up a set of 700c wheels.
