I didn't know there were two sizes. Schwinn has two sizes or all brands in general have two sizes?

While there are several obscure sizes you would normally expect to find 26.4 on just about everything, and the 27.0 JIS size on Japanese bikes from 80's-90's. Common MTBs like Rockhoppers and Stumpjumpers often had 27.0 forks.
I read a great tip on MTBR once about filing down 27.0 to 26.4 (the Sunlite 26" cruiser fork that many use on klunker builds is 27.0 for example). Color the steerer with a sharpie, file all around until the sharpie is gone, color, file, and repeat as necessary. By low tech hand filing standards it really keeps things pretty even... :wink:
