1 1/4" threadless stem
Some friends lent us a Santana tandem to see how my daughter and I like it. It's a little small, though, and I was wondering if anyone has a good source for a long (150mm?) 1 1/4" stem, preferably with a lot of rise. Until we get our own tandem, a new stem would make this one much more comfortable, and the 1 1/4" size seems to be a little tough to come by. Thanks!
Cheers.
Cheers.

Santana makes a 150 mm stem. The 1.25 diameter is a Santana exclusive. Not sure of the rise.

I had the same issue when I purchased a used Cilantro. My LBS ordered me a piece from Nitto that allows the use of 1 1/8 threadless stems on the 1 1/4 threaded fork. Any LBS can order this for you from QBP, or I'm sure some of the online tandem specialty retailers can send you one.

Santana marches to a different drummer than other tandem companies.
1 1/4" stems, 160mm rear hub spacing, special front der. mounts, sweet 16 wheels . . .

Contact Santana

(800) 334-6136 or (909) 596-7570, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time. We love talking to cyclists, and have found that a phone call is usually the fastest way for you to get the right answer.
You can order directly from them - I just ordered a drum brake, cables, and bar end shifter.
