What are the ideal gear ratios for a tandem


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi All,

 

I've been contemplating changing my flywheel on my tandem from a 53 to a 55 as I find we spin out at 65 km/h on a slight decline. Would this change make a significant difference? We're a male tandem team.

 

What else can I do to make my tandem a bit faster? I currently have a standard Titan tandem.

 

Any feedback will be appreciated.

 

Thanks

55 chainring in front will do..... any larger an you may start having shifting problems. Also an 11 on the rear cassette.

Tandem? All you need is a 30/60 and an 11/21... a 4 speed will do...

 

Teeee heee jy is (al)weer 'n ou snaaksie vandag!!!!!!!!!

We run a triple with 55/11 and have no problems with that. We

found the standard 53 was not enough...

 

As for another suggestion on going faster - how about training? Wink
