Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Am I missing something here?
Sold a 26” S-7 middleweight wheel to a buyer, he now seems to think it’s a 27” ??!!

It came from a middleweight Schwinn, I’ve never seen a 27” S-7

Your thoughts are appreciated

Maybe he is trying to fit a regular 26” tire on it ? Like a 26x2.125 or 26x1.75 it’s not gonna fit no matter how hard you try ….
S7 26” wheels rims only fit S7 tires 26x1.3/4 or the modern balloon type 26x2.1-3/4.

Just another person that doesn't realize the difference between an S-2 and an S-7...
They're probably trying to fit a 559mm BSD tire onto a 571mm(clearly marked S-7) rim and think that because it won't go, it is the next taller rim that they are familiar with.
Send them this and see if they understand that there are a multitude of specific tire sizes meant to fit specific rims after reading the article fully.

Can he read stampings in metal?

S-7
2-7

I think what I have is a new to biking, bike person, he had 10 ratings on eBay, so he is a new buyer, I am positive he has the wrong tire, because he doesn’t know “Schwinn”, he is supposed to contact me with the info re the tire he has……ugh….,

What would be more informative would be what bike he is dealing with. Good luck with that winner. 🤪
