slowriders

We got our wheels from Ric & Marsha @ House of Tandems after months of me being too cheap to spring for them. Once we test road them Stoker Mom says you can have them back after you pry my cold dead fingers off of them. We are heavy and slow - pushing 500lbs and avg 12 to 14 mph, before TX2's, on our carbon DaVinci (Our 4th tandem and second DaVinci). Chip N Seal roads, expansion joints are no problem but smooth roads are a dream. Don't know if we are lighter are better but we are now up to 14 to 16 mph and ain't getting any lighter. The difference in these wheels is beyond our ability to explain other than how did we ride without them. We are casual riders that average maybe 1500 miles per year and we don't know squat about the equipment on the bike but how to use it. We care about comfort, reliability and fun and these wheels have bumped that up quite a few notches. Ric & Marsha have been our dealers for over 7 years and we only let Ric work on our bike. We have come to trust them without question - if Ric says we need it then we need it Period.
