Does anybody know how I can determine what kind of crankset I have on my bike?
It's a Shimano of some kind, a low end product I had installed on a Schwinn I bought
from Wal-Mart when the original chainrings wore out.
I'm wondering if there's a website somewhere with pictures of Shimano products, because I'd probably recognize it if I saw it.
Generally it's necessary to know the exact model of crankset only under a few circumstances. It would be very helpful to know why you would want that info.
My bike is a Schwinn Sidewinder that I bought in 2005. I really like riding it, it's a lot of fun, and the frame has a lifetime warranty on it, so that if it should ever break, the manufacturer will replace it.
I doubt it will though, it's pretty sturdy, and I don't typically ride in any extreme conditions.
I think it would be really neat to take everything off of the frame, paint it (or maybe have it painted), then put it back together using upgraded components. That's why I'm interested to know what kind of crankset I have on there now, because if I should ever actually do this, I would want to know the specs of the product I've been using, so I could make an educated choice on what to replace it with.
