OK, I read a lot and cannot find an answer anywhere. I appreciate your help in my ignorance.
I have a set of S-5 marked wheels that appear to be 20" wheels.
They didn't come with any tires, but have the S5 hump in the middle of the wheel and are marked as S5's - should be ISO451.
I need to order some tires, but I have an issue... All the info I can find online state that the S5 in 20" should measure 17.75" in OD, but mine have an 18" OD...
I have measured with a large set of calipers to verify (no axle interference).
All the charts I can find state that this is a 22" rim ISO457.
I have read and read and cannot find a Schwinn made 22" S5 wheel; Just 20, 24. and 26 inch variants.
I can get some photos, but there is nothing special about these wheels other than I am building a single speed '68 Apple crate frame project and would like to use them instead of the usual S-7's that I have laying around.
I appreciate any and all help before I order the wrong tires (tyres).
Thanks, KC in North GA - barren wasteland for any thing Schwinn related...
