Those S-Works cranks are super easy to misalign during installation. I'm guessing pre-show panic building and not having the extractor tool are what caused that.

(many)tandems are built with the two cranks offset by 2 teeth. One gets the other over top dead centre…

.and…

…It has been suggested that tandem riders offset the pilot/stoker crank alignment by up to 6 teeth to offset this and give smoother pedaling…

(source: Google-Fu), but i have heard about this before.

Interesting. Only ever seen them lined up, but the concept sounds like it should work.

Mine is also full-suss 26’er, but that other, ‘special’ brand… 😆
