A little help please... My daughter needs a new chainguard for her Schwinn Meridian. She loaned her trike out, to be used in a parade, and ...
Oct 16, 2011 - SOURCE: Meridian Adult 26-Inch 3-Wheel Bike: Schwinn Meridian Tricycle rear brake adjustment... ... Schwinn Meridian Adult 26-Inch... ... Have a manual for Schwinn Meridian Adult 26-Inch 3-Wheel Bike?
I just put my Maridian together and two days later hit a small pothole on the left rear doing about 15mph so I called Schwinn and they replaced the wheel with no hassle. They have mnfg standards and a lifetime warranty...
The Schwinn Meridian Trikes use a different type of axle than others such as Sun Bicycle Trikes. The center of Schwinn & Sun Trikes are the same and measured diameter at 17mm, but differ on the threaded ends... Sun Trikes continue with 17mm to the axle ends, but Schwinn Trikes taper down to 12.5mm axle ends to fit their custom size wheels. This Schwinn tapered reduction in axle diameter may be part of the reason why Schwinn axles seem to bend or break more easily.
It seems that Schwinn requested these custom parts size to lock consumers into having to purchase solely high-priced Schwinn wheel/axle parts.
As of 2022, buying replacement Schwinn Wheel/Axle replacement parts is a real pain because Schwinn will not sell direct to consumers, will not disclose Schwinn part numbers, and Schwinn Customer Service tries to redirect public parts inquiries to "authorized dealers".
The problem is most local bike stores no longer carry Schwinn bikes or parts and the retailer "big-box" stores such as Walmart, Target, or Dick's Sporting Goods will only sell Schwinn parts for bikes they stock or have sold to you at that store.
After complaining, to Schwinn Customer Service several times, they finally allowed me to order direct from Schwinn.
I took the fenders off to give a little more space for the wheels to move. Don't tighten the nut and washer right up against the black plastic spacer on the rim. Schwinn should be sending out locking spacers or nuts to fix the problem, but I don't see that happening.
