I thought you bought a custom fork for the tandem which was near perfect in countering brake dive and riding well? Whats up with it.
Sometimes, even I have to compromise. The fork we have has provided flawless performance. But being a dual crown, it's not well suited for the intended purpose of the bike, which was travelling. We'd like a single crown so we can fit the bike into luggage if we do decide to travel with it. We'll still use the current fork when we're not travelling.
