The Big Apple


The Schwinn "middleweight" bicycles had less space between the forks than the heavyweights and could not fit the large 2.125 inch balloon tires. The stock S-7 rims were made for the 1.75 inch tires. The next size down from the 2.125 inch tire is a 2 inch balloon tire. That is the size I went for but it also required a change of rims. The 2 inch tire I chose is the Big Apple made by Schwalbe.
