Danny the schwinn freak
cruisin on my ratty Schwinn straightbar
Hello all and Merry Christmas! I have an old 1950 panther staightbar frame I recently bought. I’m trying to put fork bearing cups in it so I can start putting it together. But all of them fit a little loosely. Not majorly sloppy, just loose enough to spin freely in the frame. This is the same, top and bottom no matter how many different races I try. Does anyone have any home remedies for this that don’t involve welding or brazing the opening up to make it smaller? I’ve heard rumors of people having success using JBweld to build it up slightly, sanding it to fit and then tapping them in. Just wondered what you guys suggest. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Danny
