Are you also disagreeing with idea that if you're going to go this way that you should make sure that the pedals are tight and to check them once in a while?
I frequently read these forums, but every once in a while I get stupid and post something, forgetting that there's always someone out there to tell you that you don't know what you're talking about. Hopefully I'm smarter now and can refrain from posting ever again.
I'm not saying not to check the pedals I check the pedals on all my bikes form time to time. However I have never found the pedals loose on our mountain tandem.
