I have a Schwinn frontier FS 26" wheel ladies bike. I weigh 160 lbsI think it is 3 speeds, are these (742 training wheels) a good fit for me?

I'm 205 lbs and ride my son's bike (carefully) and they seem to hold up pretty well.I was actually surprised at how sturdy these trainers were. That said I don't know how well they would support an adult full time.Perhaps the manufacturer could provide better stats? http://www.waldsports.com/index.cfm/get-help/From their web site: Please note: Wald training wheels are designed to be training aids used for a temporary period of time. If the rider has special needs or exceeds the designated weight limits, we cannot recommend our products for their use.

My husband weighs about 170 and he often plays with our son and rides my son's bike and the training wheels hold him up just fine. I think as long as you do not try going on rough terrain or be abusive, they would work just fine.

My wife used them for 24" cruiser a few months ago. They did a good job and now she has a 24" mountain bike (18 speed). I think you should be fine.

I can't say for sure.Got these for a 26" ladies, retro, single speed, Huffy. They worked fine on that. Lighter rider though; @ 120 lbs.Hope that helps.

Hello and thank you for this information. Our trainers are designed to work with most bicycles that have a 26" - 28" or 700cc wheel. Thank you.

I am 6'5" 250 so no problem fitting you, but I would look elsewhere for a good exercise bike. As I type this my wife is using it and it makes a knocking sound at every pedal stroke. I put it together very carefully and I would say this is worth half of the price. Also, pedals too wide for serious bikers.

I'm also 5-10.5 & 33. I'm ordering the 58. My old, heavy Schwinn Continental is a 58, and it's perfect for me. If I were any shorter, the 58 would probably be too big for me. But I like as large a frame as I can handle.

I have a 70s schwinn roadbike as well...If you are referring to the fact that older bikes have a 125 mm rear fork spacing, rather than the newer, wider, forks, then yes, this wheel fit my bike without any adjustments. I have a 6-speed freewheel, it works just fine...I would assume a 5-speed would work too.

I am a large person, not huge, but I weigh 200... I also mounted a 49cc 4 stroke gas engine on this huffy bike.... It also has the large spokes... If you are worrying that you might hurt it, don't be , as I do not think you could find a better frame or stronger wheel set-up...

Not sure what size bike you have or tire you need. If your bike uses 26" tires them yes this is a great tire.

It depends on how much you weigh. I am six foot and about 200 pounds. I hit a ditch on a dirt path and bent the rim badly enough the bike is no longer servicable without replacing the rear wheel. My wife who is 5' 2" and weighs 120 pounds has no problem with the bike. It is well made, but the spokes are not suited for someone my size.

I do believe your present bike is also a 7 speed as is the freewheel your giving thought to purchasing.A special tool is needed to remove the current freewheel from your wheel.Best option, take your wheel and your new gears (freewheel) to a bike shop.They'll swap them out for a few bucks.Check the chain length after you replace the wheel.That freewheel is a good. I bought one myself.Ride safe. Have fun !

Absolutely! The wheel slots are adjustable to fit even large bikes. I have an old Schwinn Traveler & it fits great! The only thing you might need to play with is if your bikes only have coaster brakes (like mine does), you might need to lift up the back wheels once the bikes are on the rack to get the pedals into the right position. Hope that helps!

I typically ride a 62, but this bike maxed at 58 if I remember. Riding a smallerish frame has worked out just fine so far. However given the option if rather ride a bike a little bigger for me than small.

Most would probably say weight. I ride with a 25 on the rear and 23 on front. I would next time just do a 25 or 23 on both. If your a hard core racer go smaller. If your like me and just ride and commute for fun, 25 is good. A 25 provides a little more contact on turns.

I purchased new tires for my wife's Schwinn Beach Cruiser but they were the 26" x 2.125 and they were a perfect fit for the wide rims. I would also suggest getting new tubes.

Hey Robert, the trainer should be adjustable to all size wheels. The company claims even 29inch wheels. I've tried road bike 700 c and 26 inch mountain bike. The adjustment bolt at the roller should take care of this. Hopefully it will work for you because it is a great deal and trainer.

It really depends. There were a few years when Schwinn was using their own dimensions on wheels and tires. If the Schwinn tire is 27 x 1 3/8, it will not fit this wheel. You may have to buy new tires as well. Around the 80's, a lot of these issues about quirky sizes were resolved. So if you have a bicycle made after the mid 80's you should be okay.

I purchased my Schwinn 170 two months ago. I could only tell you that I weigh 240 lb. and 5' 8". I do believe it will be alright for a 6' 3". Very good bike to work out on.

The training wheels are heavy duty and well-made, so supporting you is no issue. I cannot confirm they'll fit the bike perfectly, though. I had to make some modifications for my kids BMX style. With a traditional tube frame, there shouldn't be a problem!
