The solution here is compromise, which involves both of you. Oddly enough we both spin faster on our singles (same crank lengths on the tandem as our singles), but my stoker likes to keep cadence to the mid-80s -- faster is simply uncomfortable. While I prefer mid-90s, compromise means we can ride together. You are not the first to bring this up (I've read this at least 50 times over the past year on various web sites), and you won't be the last.
