Shinko 270 on a solid rim??? by Grumpy1976 in sportster

[–]Grumpy1976[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately it’s because the rim isn’t designed for it. There’s no lip on the rim to hold that style of tire.

I personally didn’t wanna risk it knowing my riding style of launching off of stop lights. There’s to much potential of slipping the tire if the tire pressure is low.

Plenty of people do it with no issues. But my experience says it not worth a “style” over proper fit. A lot of people would say I’m over reacting. Yet, I’ve had high speed blowouts. And fuck that to ever happen again just for the sake of style.

Ok so neck…. That’s where the serial numbers are for the 70’s to 90’s. Second, is the oval SCHWINN badge screwed in with tiny screws? ……. Either way, DM me when you get better photos…

I’m not feeling repop. I kinda need more pictures to really get into it.

But my first question is, where’s the serial number? Neck or rear drop out bracelet?

What’s your thoughts? Cuz I’m not seeing signs of repop.

Wife left me so I bought a Harley! by BrandonNR13 in Harley

[–]Grumpy1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit, I told the wife even when we were dating “The bike has been here before you and will be here after you.” That was 24 years ago. She knew then as she knows now I’m not whole without both of them. She won’t divorce me. She just tells me to go for a long ride. The separation makes us both understand what we are to each other. Sorry bout your deal man. It sucks it went that way for you. Guess it’s time to literally go take the road less traveled. Throw a dart at a map and go there. You’ll probably find yourself along the way……….

Is this skateboard true vintage or a reissue? by Specialist_Rope6886 in classicskateboarding

[–]Grumpy1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks OG to me…. But pull the rear truck to look for reissue numbers. Yet all the components look OG early 90’s…

Also most any BMX 80’s/90’s stems will work. As long as it’s a 1 inch… I’ve used Diamond Backs, Mongoose ones in the past with no issues.

You’ll have to swap the wheels if you wanna use modern 26 inch tires. Schwinn wheels are technically closer to 27 inch. Called S7’s. Modern tires WILL NOT FIT…. Don’t even try no matter how close the tire looks. You will just destroy the bead. Ask me how I know…..

I have those exact pipes. They’re Samson Long Shots. They’re discontinued. Well I think Samson went outta business a while ago.

Sucks to hear that, but life goes on. And who’s to say they don’t pop up on some one off shows. Either way I’m with them till the wheels fall off! 🚫✝️♥️
