Good starting place for building a tandem?
Hello, I am in a spot where I plan to build up a tandem bike for the wife and I to explore riding tandem and so far I have a frame and wheels. That was the easy part...ish but I'm getting down into the next details now and have questions as I try to spec out components. Have any of you been in my shoes and can offer advice of how to proceed (Spec'ing out a build)? It's basically the drivetrain configuration where I am coming up short and have questions about...
Triple Chanring Gear Selection
Front Deraileur That Accomodates Above
Rear Cassette Type and Range
RD for Above
Then How To Best Control these!
I'm Starting with an older Santana aluminum frame. Once I can add pictures to my posts my threads like this will be more interesting but what I am hoping for is a leg up so that I don't end up wasting money on poor component choices. Any good places to start? Thanks for any words of wisdom...or links...or helpful search criteria!
