    What modern tires fit Schwinn S-2 Rims with no problems

    Fat franks area tight fit but.. They will fit on some schwinns depending on the fenders. I tried them on a B6 but they rubbed on the underside of the train light. I put them on a DX but the rim has to be perfectly true not to rub. Good luck, Happy Christmas! E

    Probably 1946 with the B serial number Don' t repaint it! You don' t need the springy thing for the front end. You have the truss rod front end. You can have the seat restored. It will be better than a new replacement. Soak the chain in oil it is still good. It would have come with Lobdell...
