I talked to one of our employees, about this, after he accidently started to install a set of tandem cranks(Spiders both sides) on his single speed this past saturday. It would look cool but the only advantage I can think of is reduced drivetrain load and you could do that with cogs as well.

Anyone thought about another thread dedicated to this before?
Yup.
A lot of different viewpoints on it.
I'd look it up but I think I'll go ride instead.

I think that would be pretty cool, just for the fun of it. Might reduce the backlash in the chain too, if you used a double sided fixed arrangement.

Obviously those of you with grease on only one pant leg don't spend enough time backwards on your bike.

The frame came from the very friendly Bike Church (downtown Santa Cruz, CA)
Yeah! He used the Bike Church that I've been just raving about in the Classic forum! Woot!
