Sounds like you ordered this tandem with eyes wide open and were not surprised at some of the shortcomings.
Get it fixed up to your liking and enjoy the ride TWOgether!

1+. Avid 7 brakes and Koolstop pads on order. Should be here in time for the Sat AM club ride with my son. If so, we'll test the "high end".
I'm happy that the stoker seat tube is 27.2 so I can quickly swap out my road seat and post for those rides. I just ordered a 27.2 to 29.2 shim so I can fit her seat back on her hybrid for solo rides.
Meanwhile the bride and I are enjoying comfortable rides on the local bike routes. We just got back from an nice sunset ride, and Joy proclaimed "we need to do this every night!"

This is working better than I thought.
