Nice piece of work; I especially like the HB tape job. Two suggestions.
Add toe clips. On a tandem if one person looses contact with a pedal the
partner will keep turning until it has hit the ankle a few times. Painful.
Better to make certain your feet are attached. My wife doesn't bother
Thanks Michael! You know I like the toe clip idea, we've already had an
issue several times when I transition from coasting to pedaling with
spinning too fast and Erika's feet come off the pedals... I'm trying to
aleviate that by letting her know earlier that I want to start pedaling
again so
Yeah, I forgot to mention that on my other response, I was surprised to see
you were using flat pedals with no toe clips. If you're not careful, the
stoker can get whacked in the lower leg if they stop pedaling but the
captain is still pedaling.
However, using toe clips does make starting and
I upgraded the shifters and brakes on my '96 Santana from Ultegra 600 STI
shifters with Erickson Gizmo and XT V-brakes with travel agent to Retro
Shift Audax and Paul's Mini Moto. It was a huge improvement in both
shifting (friction) and braking. I installed Shimano M-324 SPD pedals so
my
Tony - Retro shift audax look sweet, I'm glad that worked as a solid
upgrade for you. I'll have to start saving for some Paul Mini-Moto's, and
I'll have to check the compatability of my current Shimano levers with v
brake style calipers. I'll probably just upgrade the pads to Kool Stop's
on the
Telling the stoker when you will stop or start pedaling is imperative,
along with breaking and shifting. Also bumps in the road. I still have
trouble with the last one as I will sometimes suddenly stop pedaling and
lift my buns off the saddle. I'm supposed to yell bump - which means I
will
oh yea brakes. We actually use the Pauls posted Racers. I've never used
the V brakes but have and love the neo retro cantis on my Saluki. We're
138 years old and weigh 365 lbs, so we're not speed deamons, but do have a
lot of mass to stop.
BTW, after a year of practice we did our first inn

That looks great!
I hope to see it in person sometime.
