Look Ma, No Hands!
Schwinn wheel size 26 X 1 1/4" are these available?
Replacement rim's I was told this was a schwinn sizing.
Have a bent front wheel looking for replacement wheel, rear is special lightweight.
Where to look for these?

Is it a Schwinn Tubular S-6 on your bike? Should be stamped if it's a Schwinn rim.
 
That is correct. Older British sport and club bikes and Schwinn lightweight (S5 and S6) are both 597 ISO. I probably have a front wheel but it may have the usual wear from brake pads, etc.

Let me know rear has same usual wear from brake pads.
 
I have one of each. They both take the same size tire.

The S5 is on the left. It has a raised portion in the center and measures 1 1/4 inches wide. The S6 on the right is a flat style and measures 1 1/8 inches wide. I'm not sure which one most closely resembles the one you have.
 
What I have is marked 26 1 1/4 front/rear is the flat style.
But would like to keep same tire front rear that would be the S5 1 1/4.
Assuming 1/8 would be different tire, but same tire okay maybe S6 would match rear.
For a Dawes 52 on rear hub
