Our Bilenky was designed and set up for touring. We run Marathon Racers, 26x1.6 and really like them. I highly recommend Bilenky's work, and, if you are getting a tandem definitely go either 26" or 650b. Our fully loaded tandem, with us on it, weighs well over 400 lbs and handles like a dream. We couldn't be happier with it.
