Help with Schwinn

[Midwest Pedaler]

Hello, I just purchased what I believe is a 49 DX according to the serial # on the bottom bracket. I have not pulled everything apart yet so I may have other issues but the most glaring is the broken spoke on the S-2 rim with the Bendix hub. Does anyone know what spokes these are so I can at least get it safe to ride. I have attached a pic to so you guys can see what it looks like. Thanks in advance for any help.

10 5/8" spokes were most likely original to the bike but you can use 10 19/32", also

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the weather getting better so I can get it cleaned up and take it for a spin. I have some spare tires to put on it because the ones currently on it have threads showing in some areas.

Must have helium in the tires if it needs to be hooked to the "floor".

I thought all ballooner's ran helium . I will get some better pictures as I go through it (this one is from the sales ad).

I'd get rid of those girl's handlebars. Get some SB bars like it came with. Gary

I agree! I have some standard beach cruiser bars and one that has a bit of a rise to it I might try.
