Wheel Question

[wildrice]

I bought this bike at Pittsburgh Show today. Got it home and started working on it. Needed tires so I had a couple 26"tires laying around. Got front one on fine. Went to install rear one and it wont go on rim. Tire I took off was 26 x 1 3/4 and was trying to put a 26 x 2.10 on. Is there a chance it could be an odd size rim and they stretched the old tire on it? Inside hub says 3 speed. Any help is appreciated.

That stinks. Was hoping to ride it tomorrow after work.

A Schwinn shop may have them or easily ordered online.

So I take it someone replaced the front wheel with a 26" that will accept reg 26" tires then since the 26" tire went on it with no problem.

find a replacement rear wheel or lace the hub onto a good mtn bike rim. They will take standard 26" tires.

that would probably be your best bet if you plan on keeping it for a while
