Received the 21” 1988 Schwinn Voyageur purchased on EBay and enclosed 2 pictures which I have 2 questions. I figure the Voyageur owners probably had the same questions and have solved them. I am having trouble uploading the pictures. Will send pictures later:

Question 1 is about the Fork
Picture #1 shows one of the 2 small, threaded holes on the wheel side of the fork. The Phillips head screw is partially threaded into 1 of the 2 holes to indicate the hole. The hole is approx 35 mm above the drop out and above the lower weep hole. What are these holes for?? They are on the inside of the fork!!.

Question 2 is about the Front Wheel/Hub Attachemnt:
Picture #2 shows the front wheel with the Malliard hub and a stamped plate attached to the axle inside an adjusting nut. There is a matching plate on the other side. What are these and what is their purpose??? If I remove them, then do I need to add a washer to compensate?

TIA

I think you are referring to a sort of "safety clip" that acts as an additional securing of wheel to fork. I don't know exactly what it's called but this is what I think you are referring to:



It just snaps on and off.

You may be asking about the holes (on the inside the fork) where the phillips head screws should be for the "plates" to click into. Just screw another Phillips screw into the other hole and follow AZORCH's pics. You can see them clearly on the pics AZORCH posted. Pics please.

The holes on the inside of the fork match up to the "lawyer lips" attached to the axle. You can remove them and replace them with spacers, but you will likely be fine without replacing them. If you know how to use a quick release skewer you do not need them.

Yeah, but they are great if you want to keep your bike orig. ;0)

"Lawyer Lips!" Dang, I couldn't remember that name!
