Sometimes thinking leads to trouble and buying more parts. I am building an early Schwinn Racer lightweight as a subtle custom. I am going to use early Traveler fork that has more of a vintage look than later common blade fork. These forks are a bit delicate. What did manufacturers do? Truss rods. Has anyone ever tried to fit Schwinn truss rods to a lightweight? What did it look like? Would it make more sense to use Midweight rods than those for a ballooner? Are those rods the same? Are Schwinn rods different lengths for different size frames?
Any help or comments would be appreciated. Maybe I should just get a hobby.... Thanks!
