Tandems have some ratty significant advantages over singles in terms of headwinds, crosswinds, downhills and general cruising. A sturdier tire will not handicap general riding, especially on the cruiser/bomber type tandem the HHH will be.
The tandem I've owned for many years has both a caliper and a drum brake, making fixing rear flats a fair amount more of a hassle than on a typical single. Personally, I would opt for a 55-60mm tirefrom a company like Schwalbe over a Compass tire. I definitely would avoid the extra light casing compass tires for just about any tandem. I think you are entering the territory of diminishing returns. Ask any stoker how much they feel bumps on the rear of the tandem. They are just subjected to significantly higher loads than a sporty single. Even on old Schwinn cruiser tandems with stock Schwinn cruiser tires, you could really get moving with two very average riders. My humble opinion would suggest a tire more in line with the design of the HHH. Ray Vallejo CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
