I think the main problem is that you are riding a Tandem. My wife and I are also riding a tandem and are also starting at 7.56am. I had the same problem as you regarding a wife that did not want to ride due to the late start. I remember starting at 7.08am last year, but I also remember that the tandem group (T) did not start in alphabetical order and actually started after D group (or somewhere around there...) Im still keen for a good ride despite the heat. See you there.
Morning Johan, Thank you for your reply, I was hoping you would comment on this thread as I value your opinion based on your experience and knowledge of wheel building. So based on you comments above I will not use them on my Tandem. Thanks.
Hi Eldron, Just to check are you not refering to the Rolf Vector Pro, which are a lot lighter. The Rolf vector Comp as these are, are a bit heavier weighing arouond 1995 grams together?
I have an old set of Rolf Vector Comp rims, which have not been used much and was wondering whether I could use them on my tandem. Together my wife and I weigh about 135kg's. More specifically could I use these rims for races? Any advice...?
