Custom Road Tandems - Most Useful Features
Thank you all for a great discussion on most useful features, for frame material discussion and independent coasting.
One question - is there any advantage in going to independent coasting if your stoker is a good pedaler but not as strong as the captain? There are times I have taken my Santana Team Niobium out for a 90 minute ride and my times are faster than with my stoker on board. She is a delight to have with me, but curious if we would be able to go faster with the ICS.
Also, I have a close friend who feels that Steel is the best frame material, especially for the money. From my limited experience I would agree based on what I have read. Assuming fit is correct and the same for all, and touring is the objective but with a credit card and not tents, what are your recommendations? I am currrently seriously considering carbon and titanium.
