Seatpost for schwinn sting-ray ?

Question

I have a schwinn sting-ray low rider bike and the seat post is broken. the seat post is connected to the seat with special bolts so i cant just get a normal seat post it has to be one that can be used with a schwinn seat. where can i get a suitable seat post from?

Answer 1

doubtful if you will find parts for this very easily, there were not many sold, try the shop where you bought it, they have a moral duty to help, in my opinion. The uk importer was www.moorelarge.co.uk, try their customer service dept.

Answer 2

Those seatposts rule!

Well to replace them is tricky i must say, but any bike shop will either have them, or will order them in especially for you.

But try to go to an actual bike dealer and not a wallmart or Halfords, as they are not helpful there and will just tell you to get a different seatpost.

Also, if you have the right tools, it would be easier to undo the seatpost yourself, usually these tools are :

Allen Key

Spanner

Phillips Screwdriver

Any of those, or used together should take the bracket of the post. If it does come out, you can then, go look on e-bay for a new one(NOTE : GO FOR A NEW ONE AND NOT USED. USED COULD BE PARTIALLY DAMAGED). Or if you do not like E-bay, i suggest going to a good bike dealer near you and they will for sure happily order one for you.

Prices vary, depending on the dealer. I would expect to pay about £15-£30 for one.

Hope i helped!
