Any thoughts on whether you're getting accurate independent power for both riders? Did an expirent with my feet off, and stoker pedaling probaly around 100-150 watts. That would read 10-20 watts on the Captain's vector.

My hope is that when we're both pedaling the Captain's crank is pulling the stoker's, rather than vice versa, and that the Captain's power reading is accurate. I'm going to do some field tests on my single and on the tandem to compare.
