First ride on the new tandem (95 Santana Visa). I knew the gearing was tall and we would suffer, however I had no idea....54/44/28 and 13/21 do not a good ride make, at least the kicker at the end. Then, a closer inspection of the cassette, after hearing weird popping noises, revealed that teeth were breaking off.
You can move right along on a slight downhill with those gears!
New stuff on the way.
