Ok, Mark. Again thanks. I guess the brakes work as well as they are going to.
Here is the deal:
When we are doing a rally we usually have a ton of people drafting off us (welcome to tandeming). Usually for the first hour or so we are with the main pack of racers up front (we usually get dropped as soon as we hit some hills).
A lot of times we'll be in the middle of a pace line as they are taking turns pulling then ducking behind us to draft for a while. As tight as the paceline is, if someone for what ever reason hit their brakes hard, I'd have a hard time slowing as fast as them and not knocking them. With the length of the bike and the weight I'd have a hard negotiating around them too.
Is that just a fact of life on a tandem? I was in hopes I could beef up the brakes so our bike would behave more like our singles.
I guess if I'd have asked that question first it'd saved a lot of time, huh.
