New Introduction
Posted: Tue Mar 07, 2017 12:11 am
Hi All,
Just joined and figured I should introduce myself.
30 and getting into cycling after a 4 year break, got myself a bike to commute with. Used to get commute by bike and then go for weekend rides. What I wasn't expecting was that my girlfriend would be jealous of my new toy and want one for herself. I pitched the idea of a tandem, which we hired on the weekend and had a blast.
Fast-forward to today and we've just got ourselves a used tandem for some weekend adventures. I rode it 15km today on the way home and its pretty obvious a bunch of things need to be adjusted, so It'll be a small project to clean it up into a more effective working state. Components are nothing special; If we outgrow it it'll be easier to justify a bigger expense. Looking forward to cleaning it up some and enjoying autumn weather.
Any other tandem riders around? The world of sync-chains and eccentric bottom brackets is a little new to me, so it'll be interesting to see how things develop.
- David.
