I had one that was stolen 30 years ago, and I still miss it. I don't know that it's strictly necessary, but reducing the size of the hole will support the inner tube material so the tube doesn't herniate, and I'd be reluctant to use a Presta valve in a Schraeder hole for longer than it takes to get home from a ride.Įnjoy your Fisher. If you have rims drilled for Schraeder, you can find a rubber insert for the rim that will reduce the size of the hole. Schraeder was commonly used on mountain bikes back when I owned them (1989-1999). The Schraeder valve hole is larger than the Presta, but I don't know the exact dimensions. If you want an estimate of the age from the cycling community, it would help to post pictures of the bicycle - the entire bicycle and a close-up of the drivetrain (chain, sprockets, derailleurs), both from the right side of the bicycle.Īs for your specific question, the valve you can use is going to depend on the size of the hole in the rims. I used to do all my work on the bike and would clean and lube all bearings at least twice a season.If you contact Trek Bicycles, they may be able to give you info on the age of your bike based on the serial number, since they acquired the brand. The only thing I have changed is the rear sprocket and I may have the original. Don't recall the size but my inseam is 30' and the bike just very slightly large for me. Black paint, Colombus tube frame has the fast back geometry. Our community includes over 400 law enforcement agencies, universities, bike clubs and bike shops. It has lots of Campagnolo Record parts like brakes, derailleurs, pedals, Mavic rims that have seen better days, Cinelli handle bars and I believe seat post. Make the most of the 529 community to find your stolen bike.

It's unlikely I will ever ride the bike again so someone else should enjoy it. If you have any questions, our expert Ride Guides are available to help you seven days a week from 9AM-6PM MT and can be reached via online chat, phone: 86, or email: during those hours. The bike has not really been ridden since late 1984. Hopefully, this makes finding your bike's serial number a bit easier. The good ol' boys were hugely unfriendly to bicyclists so i gave up the pursuit. I moved to Atlanta late 1983 to be able to ride more and to try to get fast enough to join a racing team. I put many miles on it in the riding months while I lived in Minneapolis. And it's time to sell it.Ī school chum sold it to me in 1980 or 1981 after he rode it extensively for a few years. I believe I have a Trek TX900, second owner. New forum participant with a couple of old road bikes.
