Saudiq Posted November 25, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big H Posted November 25, 2009 Share 55 chainring in front will do..... any larger an you may start having shifting problems. Also an 11 on the rear cassette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Tandem? All you need is a 30/60 and an 11/21... a 4 speed will do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmaccelari Posted November 25, 2009 Share We run a triple with 55/11 and have no problems with that. Wefound the standard 53 was not enough... As for another suggestion on going faster - how about training? jmaccelari2009-11-25 05:15:27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saudiq Posted November 25, 2009 Share We've been training and therefore the 53 is no longer enough . Did it a make a big difference changing from 53 to 55? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
