Forum: Tandem Cycling

Hi all, Sorry to be pitching stuff here, but I'd rather this go to someone on this forum than an anonymous person on ebay. I have a lightly used Santana rear rack (made by Old Man Mountain). Not sure if they're still selling them; it will fit on a tandem with V-brakes (or V-brake bosses). I...

My wife and I have been riding bikes since I started to loose my sight. My sight is getting to the point that I can no longer ride a single without a lead rider to point out hazards. We have test road a few tandems and I am about ready to take the plunge. I guess the thing holding me back is...

Here http://share.ovi.com/media/currentresident.bicycle/currentresident.10166 is a photo of a triple made with a 40 tooth tuff neck and a 43 tooth pro neck chainring. The inner bolts run through all 3 chainrings. The 40 tooth is countersinked as an inner chainring and the 43 tooth is...

On Aussie ebay: www.ebay.com.au Item number 190349386672 I'm pretty sure it's not a Colnago, probably homemade? Has anyone seen something like this before?

Hey All, Kath and I are taking a trip to SoCal next week and will be taking the daVinci with us. We want to start riding in Long Beach. Any route suggestions? 30 or 40 miles is good.

Anyone out there ever do a cyclocross race on a tandem? I know its been done and would be interested to hear any stories, tips, advice from those who may have given it a try. I think we're gonna give it a try next weekend. There's actually a tandem class in a local cyclocross race next weekend...

Wife and I will embark on our first self suppported tandem tour (second really but the the first was only a long weekend) in the lake region of Northern Patagonia (Bariloche - Puerto Montt -Chaiten - futaleufu - Esquel - El Bolson). Some of it fairly remote country, about 400 km of mostly gravel...

A short while back, and also while at the STR, there was mention of trying to organize some Florida rides. I know it can be a busy time of year, but the weather seems pretty good and I was wondering if any tandems are gathering for rides or short trips. I know the Villages has their ride. ...

So, despite that we haven't really ridden our Burley yet, I'm curious about fork options. Currently the bike is using a 1 1/8in threaded fork with a quill stem. I don't mind either, personally. But 1 1/8in quill stems are quite the rarity. The one is has is a ZOOM adjustable and I'm not really...

The only one I can find on Google is the Rice Vally Ride out of Chico. Is that the only one?

...but for my VI stoker it was a great achievement for his attempt and in 36C deg. Sat 14th Nov, we did a 100 km Audax ride with 4 other tandem teams and 150+ solos. Undulating course, we actually out-climbed some solos on the major climb and down hills were an absolute blast...very addictive....

Absent actual power measurement I'm finding climbing speed to be a reasonable means of assessing our improvement. The Garmin 705 may not measure grade accurately, but I find it to be very repeatable so two grades that read out as 6% (+-0.5%) are probably pretty close. A 6% grade used to find us...

We have been riding our 2007 Diamondback Wildwood tandem for two years. Maybe 1,200 miles. Mostly bike trails here in Maine. Gotta love the carriage trails at Mt Desert Island. Anyway.....our tandem isn't the Wildwood I see everywhere, it is unique to 2007. Looks like made only that year. It has a...
