26 x 2.125 Chrome Cruiser Bike WHEELS Tires Vintage Schwinn Phantom S2 Bicycle
26" x 2.125" Chrome S-2 Style Coaster Brake Wheel Set for Vintage Schwinn Balloon Tire Cruiser Bicycles (with Tire Option Choices). This is a New 26" x 2.125" Chrome S-2 Style Knurled Rim or Smooth Rim Wheel Set with Coaster Brake for New Cruisers and Vintage Schwinn Balloon Tire Bicycles. The Wheel's Rim profile is a squarish and round domed in the middle, it is approximately 38mm wide and 17mm tall, it is a copy of Vintage Schwinn S-2 Rims. It's Not a very close copy of a S-2 rim, it's just Knurled (lines in the rim) like OG S-2 Rims. I like them and we have built many cruisers with them and very pleased with look & performance.
I prefer original equipment but when your wheels are toast this is a great option. The Smooth Version is basically the same wheel set minus the Knurling of a S-2. The 26" x 2.125" Wheel and Tire set up is Considered a Fat Tire, Ballooner, Heavy Weight Set up Popular on Vintage Postwar Schwinns like: Black Phantom, DX, B-6, Phantom, Panther, Hornet, Streamliner, Wasp, Heavy Duty, Flying Star, Starlet, Early Hollywood, Spitfire, etc....
Late 1947 into the 1950s and Very Popular on Chopper & Cruisers Today. Tip: These wheels are a decent Replacement option for S-7 wheels on a middle weight cruiser if you are NOT using Fenders. The Rims are single walled Chrome Plated Steel 36 hole with a 559 BSD.
The Wheels are Laced with Heavy Duty spokes to a KT Coaster brake with 3/8" Diameter axle and a the front hub with 3/8" axle. Please Keep in mind a Front 3/8 Diameter Axle is Now Industry Standard to be used with Newer Cruiser Bikes. Vintage Bicycles used 5/16" axles so the fork dropout will have to be widened with a grinder for the 3/8" axle to work.
The Wheels are New Quality product, we have been using these for years on our Retro Cruisers with Great Service and look sharp with a Black or Whitewall Tire Combinations. Rear Wheel comes with a 18t cog. You have the Choice of Tires : Wheels Only = No Tires or Quality Reproductions of the Schwinn Brick Pattern 26" x 2.125" Tires in: Black or Whitewalls.
