Right. The Santana article pointed that out and their argument was that
whereas the hard braking risk on a regular bike is for the rider to go over
the bars, on a tandem is for the front wheel to slide under if locked,
which has catastrophic results.
I'm going to look for that tandem group. Do you
Well, for sure you aren't going to lift the back wheel off the ground!

It's been physicist vs physicist and I am not about to jump into the
argument. A lot depends on the kind of riding you do. One thing I will

Thanks! Good to know that the MiniMotos work so well.

I could have stood the Santana on the front wheel; those brakes saved our
lives more than once...

Thank you both for the feedback.
Do you think the braking power of the MiniMotos is the same as the
Motolites? I know the Minis are for canti levers and the Motolites are for
long pull levers, but I'm talking about pure braking power. Are they the
same or is the longer Motolites with the longer ca
I agree with Ray. I replaced the vintage STI/Erickson Gizmo and XT
v-brakes/travel agents on my 20y/o Santana with Gevenalle Audax shifters
and Paul MiniMotos. The drum brake was controlled by the captain with a
Shimano friction bar end shifter. I have disc brakes on my Fargo, Pugsley,

Rene,
I've always used shifter cables in mine. I've never given it a second
thought but I routinely inspect brake cables, doubly so on my tandem.
Drag brakes also make excellent perking brakes which makes parking a tandem a
bit easier.

Great insight! Thank you for sharing it.
One question on the barcon for the drag brake. What kind of cable do you
use? Shifter cable that fits in the barcon but may be too thin, or brake
cable that is thicker and may not fit through the barcon? Or were these
Suntour barcons capable of handling bot
I've had a tandem for over 30 years and my drag brake is an Arai drum.
It has been controlled by a Suntour bar on until recently and it is now
controlled by a Suntour thumbshifter.
In many years of tandeming, with numerous different stokers, it is my humble
opinion that it is asking a lot of a
Ja ja ja ja!!! Very true.

If the stoker thinks it's too fast, better slow down.

Oh, I see. I did a search on Suntour Barcon and realized you are
controlling the drag brake with a friction shifter. Ingenious!
I wonder if it makes more sense to have the captain control all the
braking, which means that adjusting the drag brake while already on the
descent means releasing the re
The Hubbuhubbuh comes configured with only a rear disc brake, just like
Santana recommends. When I spoke with Grant last year, he explained the
concept of the drag brake, and in their demo tandem, it was the stoker who
controlled it. I can't remember if the lever was different to be able to
keep it
Bill, good catch on their typo! Ja ja ja ja!!!
