Where to buy Front Tire addition I just ordered the schwinn joyrider and I'm trying to find the front tire addition that I can order.

We found it at a website called Perfectly Safe. It is incorrectly listed as a 16" Swivel Front Wheel Kit, but it is actually the 16" non-swivel jogging wheel. My wife loves it. It doesn't wobble like the swivel wheel does.

It is not listed on the Schwinn website, BUT it is listed on the InStep website as they are now the same (or merged) company. I e-mailed them asking where I could find it since it's Sunday and they are closed. But I am not going to check the Perfectly Safe website mentioned above. I want to buy the Joyrider to use primarily as a jogger with my 3.5 year old daughter.

You'll need to call Schwinn and order it. We looked everywhere for the jogging attachment, and finally called Schwinn. After months of looking, it literally took a 5 minute phone call. It was $32. Hope this helps!

Has anyone found anywhere else that you can buy the jogging kit? Looked at peferctly safe and they are out and they aren't being manufactured anymore from schwinn. Thanks for any input!

The front wheel assembly IS true, at least on the two pair I have purchased. But the rear is nowhere close. You'll need patience and experience, these rims are not out of the box and on the road. Most of my bikes use the Shimano SIS spin on freewheel. The hub is not the same as the stock wheel my Schwinns came with, so the high and low stops on your derailleur will have to be adjusted. I have a set on a '73 Super Sport and a '88 World Sport. I also dressed the hoop welds because they seemed too sharp, about 35 minutes on each rim with a small pair of files and emery cloth. Even after this, they are a good value for a very low cost option to get you back on the road... The front wheel assembly IS true, at least on the two pair I have purchased.

This is not a normal sized tire, its Europe.I had to send it back. Being a Schwinn, this most likely won't fit it.Get a Kenda or more popular tire and make sure its from Amazon so a return is easy.I got two other tires in the past with razor cuts on them.

For running or jogging, you need to affixed the turning front wheel if you have a Revolution model. It is for your safety and ease in running/jogging.

Evidently,some people are confused about the difference between a TIRE and a WHEEL (RIM). When you buy car TIRES, do you expect to get new wheels (rims) with them because it is shown in the picture? Check out this picture of Goodyear tires for a car on Amazon, clearly shows wheel (rim) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/515qtthiBDL._SL500_SR100,100_.jpg. To answer your question directly, NO it is not false advertisement, when the description clearly states it is a TIRE.

On my bike it is the front wheel that is up off the ground. But if the front weighs more (Like if I have something in a front basket) than the back then it is the back tire that is up. So it depends. Personally, I do not recommend this model. On mine the spring broke making it useless. There are better quallity stands out there that do the same thing but are much better made.

My husband removed the front wheel from trailer and attached trailer to wheel hub of his mountain bike. I've posted images for you here. Hope it helps. --- http://jlsousa.smugmug.com/Schwinn-Scout-Bicycle-Trailer/ --- Please let me know if you have any other questions. All the best.

Thanks A. Myles.I took your suggestion and ordered one for myself. The whole thing costs only $3.27 (plus $5.16 shipping+tax). Its a shame why Shwinn wont ship it with the product itself.

I ordered everything for my son for Christmas and we just saw embed it today. Bigger wheels the better and bearings I went to k swiss 6 bearings as for bolts it depends on the spacers, but I went ahead and ordered the longer one just to cover my 6. And he LOVES it!

They are different tires - one is designed specifically for the front and one for the rear. Just put them both on a month ago and love them!

I've had the Schwalbe tires for a year. I put one on the rear because my performance bike shop was out of the others. Two weeks later I put one on the front even though it was fine. You'd be wise to let the shop put them on as they're very tough. Best tires I've ever had. Bulletproof.

My brother in law built ours but I looked at it and here is what I can tell you. Looking at the bike from the back going from the left side to the right is what I see. The left tire just has the axel pushed in it, then there is 4 inches of exposed axel before the chassis starts, after the chassis there is the black shaft, then a white sprocket that is larger than the sprocket shape inside of the wheel. I called my BIL and he does remember having to force the axel and wheel together but said that the white sprocket that I can visibly see did not fit in the wheel shape. I am not sure if this helps. I have pictures I will try and post if you need them. My brother in law built ours but I looked at it and here is what I can tell you.

Hello there... Your current tires are 26" diameter and will fit wheels between 1.5 - 1.75" wide. The Schwinn tires are 26" diameter and 1.95" wide and should fit your current wheel.I hope this helps!

Its not unusual for a bike with a quick release tire to not fit in the trainers. Mine didn't either, but my sons bike did. It's an easy fix though. The skewer ( the nut and rod that hold the tire onto the bike), needs to be replaced for one that fits both your bike and the trainer. When I first heard I had to do that, I was really disappointed, thinking it was going to be a harder job then I could handle. But if you youtube "how to change a rear skewer", you'll find it its a really simple job. I ordered a new skewer from Amazon. The one I ordered is called CycleOps Trainer Skewer. Although I have read that others were able to go to a bike store to buy one. It took me about a minute to switch the skewers.

Look at the metal wheel you want to put the tire on. There should be writing on the wheel, what size the wheel is 26x1.5, for example. Then you need to buy a tire for that size wheel. I can not give a yes/no answer. Or try to look up the bike specifications online and get ggat info that way. Good luck!

It would be easier to look at the manual. Go to schwinnfitness.com/manuals I believe they are programs. I have not used them yet but your question has triggered me to find out as well.

I don't know...I can't seem to get that question answered either. I can't get the front jogging wheel or spare parts. If you find out let me know please.
