Wanted- Child Stoker Kit
I have a Rodriguez AL-26 tandem and am in search of a Child Stoker kit that will fit. Anyone out there with grown kids that can part with one?
Thanks

I got my kid stoker setup from chucksbikes.com for $85. Catches - he only had 1-3/8" and I have a 1-1/4" OD seat tube. No problem, I cut a shim out of a flexible 1.5" drain pipe (PVC?) and it works perfectly.
Also, the chucksbikes.com setup does not use real kid stoker cranks, just 140mm BMX cranks on backwards. So I reversed my pedal spindles so that my kid could ride with toe clips. I haven't had any loosening problems, though.
Real kid stoker options with cost more money. Good luck!

Is your Burley stoker kit 1 1/4" seat tube? If so, I would be interested in purchasing it from you. Let me know.

I don't have a pic, it's just a little crank and chainring that clamps on the seattube. the kid sits on the stoker seat and pedals that crank, which is linked to the main stoker crank by a short chain. my daughter was tall enough that i could just use crank shorteners, rather than the child stoker kit. so i've got that extra.

Here is a picture of my setup. It's not a very good photo, but perhaps it will show the idea.

Thanks for the photo's people!
I went ahead and ordered the stoker kit from Chucksbikes.com I will have to see the 140 mm are too long, I don't think they should be.
