    Am I Missing Something?????

    Ok I'm trying to get a newly aquired tandem going (thanks tlaing1) anyway the only real problem is the chain tensioner doesn't sit tight. It's a bolt through a pulley with a square block and a nut on the other side. I'm assuming the block was threaded at one time and the nut was added later (it...

    20" tandems?????

    I know schwinn made the mini twinn which is WAYYYYYYYYYYYY out of my budget but did anyone else make a 20" tandem i may be able to find and possibly afford? I may decide to build my own if i don't find one B4 spring but i'd rather not make a long term porject out of it. Thanks in advance for any...

    has anyone ever????

    used a rear coaster brake wheel on the front and ran a cable to the sprocket to yank it and stop? I've been kicking around the idea and haven't figured out why it won't work. (i know i have to attach the arm) I've come to realize that about 96% of my original ideas aren't original so if anyone...
