    Sorry! Wrong bicycle! My Schwinn Tri-Wheel is a Town and Country with the smaller drive chain on the left rear wheel. I need to put in a new tube but can't get the wheel off.

    Is it substantially different? Pages 13-14 describes the hardware that attaches the wheel. It's juts a plastci cap, nut and washer.

    I appreciate your help. Yes, it is a lot different. There is a long drive chain that comes back from the main sprocket to the center of the back axle, then there is a smaller chain assembly attached to the left wheel which makes it very hard if not impossible to get the wheel off the bicycle. I loosened the nut on the outside of the wheel but the smaller chain assembly is attached to the hub on the inside of the wheel and also attached to the axle and this is where the brake cable is attached!!! This is a 1960 model. I have been looking online for the manual but no luck. Thanks again. I could take a picture if you think you could help me from that but don't know how I would attach it here.

    Why don't you contact Schwinn and ask them to dig up something?

  • Anonymous Jun 30, 2011

    Thank you, that is what I will do. As I said, I really appreciate your help, I am 80 yrs. old and trying to fix this bike for my 45 yr. old handicapped son. You done a good thing!!!!!!!!

    As a last gasp solution, why can't you just leave the wheel ON the bike and remove the tire from it for repair and reinstallation? The only reason a wheel MUST be removed from a traditional bike is because its hub is captive on both sides by frame or fork members. Your wheels are single-side mounted. I have a mountain bike with a single-sided front fork which would allow flat repair while the wheel stays on the bike. Not the best solution as it requires wrangling the bike around, but maybe less mechanically complicated than disassembling the drive train.

The chain on my mx500 de attached and it won't go back on like it seems the chain is too small how do I re attach it

You need to loosen your rear wheel and de adjust it so it moves forward so the chain will go back on. Make sure you measure by counting how many turns so that the wheel is still aligned when you tighten it back up

The pedals will turn but the wheel does not

The rear set of gears, called the "Freewheel" are shot, and need to be replaced. You can find another wheel, but this will probably prove to be difficult, or you can pay for a new freewheel or your bike shop may give you an old one for a discount.
Good luck

The chain on our tandem needs tightening. It is not the chain attached to the back wheel, but the middle. The bike if a Pacific

Without a picture I am guessing here that this is a fixed chain (meaning no bolt adjustments). What you need to do in this case is locate and remove the master link from the chain. Look around the entire chain on both sides and find the link that does not have an hourglass shape. It will be flat all the way around. There are specific tools for this but I use a needle nose or a screw driver with just as much success. Simply pry between the two links at this point and pop off the master. Now you can remove any amount of slack you want by removing one of the links. You should only have to remove one and MAYBE two. Once you have done this just pop the master link back on with the needle nose again and you are ready to go.

Took chain off to remove wheel and am unable to get chain back on correctly. 2001 Magna oasis 26" 7 digit shifting speed. Unablew to locate manual...can you help?

Put the chain to the inside of the front cog wheel, beside the pedals, first but not onto it, so you have plenty of room for pulling the chain to the rear. Fit the wheel back into place and before tightening it pull down the spring loaded arm, with the small cog wheel beside the back wheel. This takes the tension off the chain and allows you to put it into place on the back wheel. Tighten up the wheel. When it's tightened fit the chain onto the top of the front cog wheel. Lift the back wheel off the ground and turn the pedals forward. The chain will click onto the front cog wheel when you have turned the pedals one complete turn.

If you need to see a picture of how it should look at the back you can see one at http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bik/2409696114.html

How can I put chain back on my E200 razor electric scooter?Everything is in the way.

First your going to remove the deck.
Take off the chain tensioner
Next remove the motor and put the chain around the gear
Put the motor back on the scooter with the chain on
Then take the rear wheel off and put the chain into the gear.
Put the rear wheel back on along with the chain tensioner and deck
Your done!

Note: the reason why I say you have the remove the motor and wheel is the get the chain on. So you may only have to partial remove the motor or tires to get the chain on.

Chain has become loose and will ride off gears while in use

If its a singlespeed:

Examine the tightness of the bolts that attach the axle to the frame by loosening then with a wrench. If it was loose that could have been the problem.

Now check the alignment and equal spacing of the wheel inside the frame. Pull the wheel back in the dropouts so the chain has an inch or two of looseness. Lightly tighten the bolts and check again and crank the wheel with the pedals and spin. Check the chain and equal alignment of the wheel. Tighten the bolts that attach the wheel to the frame.

If its a quick release, make sure that when tightening you apply a good amount of force to close the lever at least 90 to 100 degrees. And do all of the above.
