Jim,

I've done the same as Capecodder. On my Schwinn Tandem I'm running a Suntour 6 speed ultra using barend shifters, with no problems. IIRC, I'm using Nashbar 8 speed chains which are KMC. I ordered 3 and spliced two together for the timing chain.

Let me know if you need help building the freewheel with the range you desire.
