Dboy9887 said:Im having a headtube problem as well. I bought the head tube reducer from cHoppersus to fit a 40's Schwinn Liberty and the funny thing is it still doesnt even fit, i could see that its meant to fit the frame but its just a slightly bigger than the headtube. my idea is to just cut one side of the reducer and then it should probably fit snuggly in place but im not sure. My other idea is too file down the inside of the headtube but then again i dont wanna mess up my frame for future fork changes.. should i risk cutting the reducer or should i file down the frame?
bmx or used chicago schwinn headset should fit. they're common and not expensive. headset reducers shouldn't be needed on an old schwinn. as a matter of fact they are almost NEVER neccessary and get way too much attention on forums.
