what size replacement chain should I use for a 1993 mongoose switchback bicycle?

I would suggest the same size chain as the one you're replacing. That usually seems to work best.

buy a  f 350 and adapt the frame to fit

Send me a pic to bmxcollections@yahoo.com and I could probably tell you depending on year and style i should be able to pinpoint it within a year

An 8mm Allen wrench can be used to tighten the crank to the bottom bracket.  On some older models, a 14mm or 15mm hex head wrench would be used.  However, if the bottom is what is actully loose, you usually have to remove the crank, tighten the bottom bracket, and then replace the crank.\n\nYou should probably take this to your bike shop if you don't understand what I've said above.

dude, XTR is up to 9 speeds on the rear cassette. 7 speed was like 10 years ago, litterally.  \n\nsure, you can use 9 sp cranks with 6 speed cassette, just use the 6 speed chain (6,7,8 speed chains are the same width) it just when you go 9 and 10 speed, the chains get narrower.  there will be some side play on the front chain rings, but it shouldnt effect performance too much, especially since old 6 speed stuff is pretty choppy anyways.

It will depend on what type of bike and what type of riding you plan to do. Is it a road bike or a mountain bike, or maybe a bmx? \n\nAlso, the manufacturers may have slightly different methods of measuring their bikes. What is 19" from one manufacturer may be 18.5" from another. \n\nThe best thing to do would be to go into a dealers shop and ask them. (Don't buy from wal-mart or sears etc.) They have tools that will help determine the best size and fit. Then take some bikes for a test ride, see how they feel.

if its a 99 or newer single rear wheel, its 3.73 .. if its a dually, its either 3.73 or 4.10

Most of the stuff is interchangeable. On the older Schwinn bikes, they will use stuff specific to Schwinns and nobody else. The big example here is the tire size 26 x 1 3/8. There is an EA1 that fits only the Schwinns. The 26 x 1 3/8 EA3 fits all the other brands. These two are NOT interchangable. The Schwinn specific ones can be a challenge to find, but any bike shop should be able to order them. If you need bearings, pull the old ones and bring them in, that way the shop can see exactly what you need. Some of the parts may be tough to find because the technology has changed a lot since the tempo (not much out there with down tube shifters), it just depends on what it is. Personally, I'd find something more current just because parts are easier to come by.

Sorry, you need a chain tool unless the chain is made be Sram. It isn't Sram unless it was already replaced.

You can buy this...\n\nhttp://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20712&id=0012783224318a&navCount=2&podId=0012783&parentId=cat20803&navAction=push&catalogCode=IG&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20803&hasJS=true\n\nor just the hammer.  That's what I did and the pull is about 2lbs and smooth.

700 x 23c - Tyre size...this is standard issue\n53/39 - Number of teeth on 2 front cogs...standard issue\npedals- comes with pedals\n50cm to 62cm- frame sizes available\n\nthe 50-62cm is frame size availability, not pedal-related. this measurement typically is seat-tube (s-t) length, from center of bottom-bracket (bb) to center of top-tube (t-t), but can sometimes measure to the top of t-t or even to the top of the seat collar.

Well, if you could just remove the small ring the gear ratios wouldn't be the same.  The "normal" gearing for a double is 53 / 39 and on a triple is something like 52/42/30.  If it were me, I'd definately upgrade to Ultegra.  But that's assuming money isn't an object.

PLEASE don't put this wheelset on your Schwinn frame. Regardless of what you may think the 7 speed spacing is NOT the same as a 9 speed rear. You are MUCH better off buying an entire bike with Deore and discs for the $1000-1200 you'll spend on those wheels and all the fixin's.

So, you are going to build up your own wheel? The hub is probably larger than existing so you'll need to figure out new spoke length - several online spoke calculators are available, I don't know off hand.\n\nBUT you can try here, Harris Cyclery: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/index.html\nor maybe: http://www.gaerlan.com/bikeparts/parts/hubs/hubs.html\n\nOr even your local neighborhood Bike Shop can order it for you.\n\nYou do realize these are about $190 and you're most of the way to a new cruiser at this price, right?
