Hi everyone I have a 2spd. Schwinn hub i belive to be a 1959 . and was wondering if it would fit and or be correct fit for my 1959 Schwinn racer single spd. rim. I"m thinking about swaping them if it would work .I'll post some pics if thats what is needed for correct identification. thanks to all !

So this is a manual two speed Bendix hub, correct?

If you check the 1959 Schwinn catalog on T.R. Findley's site here: http://www.trfindley.com/flschwinn_1951_1960/1959_16.html :, it says that the 1959 Racer was available with the Bendix two speed, so I would check the spacing and if it's the same, go for it.
