Advice Wanted: 6'4" Pilot, 5'8" Stoker
I'm 6'4", my wife is 5'8". I'd like to buy a tandem for self-supported touring - perhaps a cross country trip. I have a BOB trailer and would consider pulling it, especially to prevent broken spokes, but would prefer panniers.
I would like any advice you could give me: brands, sizing, wheel/spoke/hub recommendations, brakes, etc.
Durability would be first priority, comfort second, hill-climbing capability third. Speed not a concern.
Thanks in advance!
