The Hananero needs a new groupset. I know it’s crazy but I am actually considering Campy Chorus as an option.

Are tandem riders more likely to wave at other cyclists?

Our bike is 340 lbs and running 37mm tires at 65 rear, about 57 front.
Not sure what the best drop bar V's are, since we have flat bar. For canti's I like vintage Shimano paper football lookin' XTs (slight possibility they might snag your stoker's heel some of they have big feet)

Twin Six teased a new design on Insta - I like it. I like it a lot.

It’s been a long time since we had rim brakes but we just used whatever was available. It is imperative that you keep them properly adjusted and running close. You can run out of lever quickly on downhills if you run them too wide.

edit: with a 34 out back I would probably be happy with the 50x34 up front even if I found myself in the Eastern Sierra Nevadas.

I climbed 2000 feet this week. That’s gotta be a record somewhere.

AG wanted to watch 13th during dinner. I knew most of it; she knew little. Even for me, it's rough.
