I believe that is what fits our Calfee.
I don't see anybody selling Tandem CDX parts online, where do you buy them?
Gates
website shows a 69T and a 74T centertrack pulley for tandems. Some discussions earlier in this thread indicate a 66T will be available this summer.
I think most of the tandem shops either stock or can get the CDX system. I purchased a 69T system for our CoMo from House of Tandems earlier this week. Tandems East and Precision Tandems also advertise the system.
Before purchasing from HoT, I did a google search for Gates Tandem CDX. The "shopping" results showed several belts and pulleys that were advertised to be CDX but the pictures did not look like CDX components.
One example is this pulley from bikepartsexpress.com. It shows the CDX label on the side but it does not look like a CDX pulley. It looks more like the pulley for the CDC belt drive system that we have on our bike now. I decided to play it safe and purchase my system from one of the reputable tandem shops.
