I worked on my 87 High Sierra, changing the tires out to a "knobby" set. Going to ride on unimproved trail in Dalghren Virginia tomorrow.

worked on my DX putting the rack on with proper Schwinn hardware. 3rd times a charm, bought some repop fender/rack bolts that were garbage and stripped out. then bought some where they showed long fender/rack bolts and shipped me shorter ones that don't work with the rack. 3rd time bought a group of 10 sets and one was long bolts.
