Can anyone recommend something reasonably priced? I would expect that I need a custom builder with good tandem wheel experience.
Thanks.
We have a set of Joe Young hand builts for touring - Phil Wood hubs, 48 spoke Velocity Dyads. We can run 40mm Schwalbe Duremes with fenders on our Seven Ti. I highly recommend Joe. I have three sets of his wheels, including my single tourer.
