My pet peeve on our current Rohloff tandem (chain) is that the bottom bracket loosens up the chain after x amount of miles and to I have to constantly deal with tightening it.
Interesting, BB loosening...do you mean the eccentric is loosening or creeping? Certainly after a few 1000 miles some chain stretch occurs which requires an eccentric adjustment, but we have not had problems with eccentric creep. Perhaps a new or different eccentric would help. We very much like the rohloff on our tandem, and our bushnell eccentrics do not creep.
