Schwinn Crank

[Robertk]

looking for a Schwinn crank for a 24” frame. Can be in rider condition. LMK thanks!

I found this Schwinn stuff in my boxes of parts. Do you know how long the crank needs to be?

I've got a 24" girlie Schwinn out in the pile, if no luck, lmk, can pull it and see how nice it is.

@rrtbike thanks, I actually don’t know how long it should be, but that looks like it is pretty nice! How long is it? I can compare the length to a 26” one.

 

[Robertk]

@Green Dragon thanks will let u know.

 

[rrtbike]

This measures 6 1/2".
I think date means 1965?

[Robertk]

Thanks will measure and let you know!

 

[Robertk]

Yeah 6-1/2” is a bit too long. Thanks.

 

[rrtbike]

Ok... I wondered. Hopefully someone else jumps in!

 

[Robertk]

Thx rrtbike

 

[Robertk]

Anyone else perhaps have a Schwinn crank for a 24” frame? Thx

The bottom bracket shouldn't be any lower to the ground on a 24" then a 26", correct? That's compensated for on the frame, even all of my original Schwinn 20" bmx bikes have 6 1/2"(165mm) crank arms, that's the most common length used. Unless I'm wrong, but 6 1/2" should be the correct original crank arm length. I believe it then drops to 5 1/2", which would be way to short.

@Brunson67 good to know.
This is a custom application, so I probably need a 5-1/2” crank.
