Do you have a Schwinn manual to make sure you are assembling it correctly?

I have taken two of these hubs apart before, both of them not shifting into first or second before or after i have put them back together... i have access to the manual so i plan on trying again to get them in working order... only thing i know after rebuilding them is the amount of bad words i can say in an hour!

If all else fails, there is a bike shop in Seattle that works on IGH. www.rideyourbike.com

That Schwinn shop manual that Scott (Rustjunkie) posted has been a great help to me in the past. I've rebuilt several but they are still a bit of a mystery. The usual problem if they don't shift is that the transfer spring tabs have worn down & have to carefully be bent back out a little bit to grab. Wish I could make it to Iron ranch, can always use some more kick backs.

Memory lane classics in Grand Rapids Ohio does a great job if you can't figure it out on your own. Good luck!
