I'm temporarily putting the wheels from my touring bike on a Peugeot TH-8 tandem I'm rehabbing. Yes, I know it's not ideal and I plan to build up some more suitable wheels over the winter, but I'd like to get a little riding in this season with my significant other/hopeful stoker to see how we do with riding a tandem. We're not a particularly heavy team and she's not (yet!) much of a cyclist, so we'll be taking it easy. But I do think it would be wise to stick a solid axle in the rear hub (it's a Shimano..... Deore or Altus... can't remember and it's not nearby..)- is Wheels Manufacturing pretty much it? $40 seems a little steep for an axle, but if that's what it is, then I suppose that's what it is.. Other options?
