swingarm failure too
I have the exact failure on both swingarms. The Schwinn warranty is only honored by trading your bike into Performance Bikes and getting a 20% discount on a new bike. This is at least the deal they threw my way (I'm not giving them the bike). My bike shop warned against welding together the shear or welding a sleeve around the pivot since the heat could warp the swingarm. Instead, they recommended cutting the pivot at the weld point and machining a new part to be welded on in its place. I haven't done either yet. Have you had any other recommendations, success, etc?
