Getting in sync with your stoker has a huge role in riding uphill. This is particularly true if you try to stand for hills.
On my road oriented tandem, I have 30 tooth front and 30 tooth rear. This has been an issue with less experienced stokers and has had ME standing and going as hard as I can while they did less work. Gearing aside, get really familiar with your stoker before attacking anything too steep. These HHH tandems are ideal for all the fun things a tandem is great for. A 24 front with a 34 or 36 rear should cover most needs under most conditions. Preparing your riding partner for what's in store is a real responsibility for the captain. The stoker is never at fault, IMHO Ray -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
