As this weekend is forecast to be beautiful, and as the Continentals aren't going to arrive until Monday...
I also have a pair of Kenda Kwests (28mm, wire bead) that I have mounted on a spare set of (non-tandem) wheels that I had intended to go on a commuter project that has yet to get off the ground. I hadn't thought of them for the tandem (they seem kind of hard and cheap) but... Does anyone have any experience with these tires on a tandem?

Oooo, and that reminds me of another thing. Last one, I promise. Those Kwests are mounted on some old Shimano wh-540 wheels. Those were the kind that look just like the Santana/Shimano sweet 16s. Does anybody know if they are susceptible to the tension and cracking problems that the Sweet 16s seem to be known for?

Thanks!
