It's pretty straightforward changing the tires on the loop. I'm a big guy and the standard 65 PSI tires it comes with are ****. two blowouts already in the rear, most likely due to poor weight distribution. But Whatever the reason you have, here's how to change the rear tire.

1. You'll need to grab a 15mm wrench or socket & ratchet combo. Remember, righty tighty lefty loosey.
2. Remove the rear derailleur gear guard, it just sort of falls off. Store it somewhere safe until you're ready to reassemble everything.
3. Gently pull upward on the wheel once both bolts are removed. Carefully pull the derailleur away from wheel gears as you pull it upward and out of the gear system entirely.
4. Done with that part and the wheel should be out! Do whatever repairs that are necessary for the removal of the wheel, possibly changing a tube, I don't know. You needed it out, now it's out.

5. Reassembly is easy enough. Make sure the wheel isn't fully inflated while reassembling. The brakes on the Schwinn loop are tiny little things, you'll need to pinch to get it past where it needs to be again.


6. Move the derailleur gears out of the way while you move the wheel back into place, then slowly remount the chain onto the wheel gear assembly. It's very intuitive, you'll see exactly what you need to do here.



7. Throw that rear derailleur gears guard back on there, screw on and tighten those rear bolts and bam! Presto change-o! The tire is changed and you can feel a little more mechanically inclined for the day.



NOTE: Changing the front wheel is also a simple job. You'll use the same 15mm tool, except there are no gears to worry about. Cheers!

What year was my schwinn make the serial number is ty60400276? get back to me asap i would like to know so i can get my tires fixed

You don't need to know the year of any bike to fix it. VERY old Schwinns (early 60's and before) used their own tire sizing (will say S5 or S6 along with tire size) but all you have to do is read the size printed on the tire and get the same size. If you are still concerned about what year your Schwinn is just Google "Schwinn serial number," but be aware that there is less info on more recent bikes that were made overseas. They are most easily dated by model name, color scheme and equipment. Again, they model year has nothing to do with how to repair it.

How to change rear tire schwinn suburban womens bike

Remove wheel, take it to the nearest bike shop for correct replacement and tire sizing. Schwinn tires are different than other tires. They use fractions rather than the decimal system everybody else uses. So a Schwinn tire won't fit on a decimal rim and a decimal tire won't fit on a Schwinn rim

I have the schwinn tire sealant for bike tires and am confused on how to get the product in the tire with vague verbal instructions. Can anyone help or is there better instructions or photos showing?

Hey! Watch this video, it helps. Personally, I've tried using "Schwinn tire sealant" and so far it has NOT worked on my tire. In fact, I had to get a new tire 'cause the old one leaked and was full of the clear, schwinn gooze. Perhaps just patching the tire would be better or maybe the Green slime will work?
good luck
