Took the tandem for a two-day trip round Hampshire on the first weekend in May (temperatures circa 10C) rather than the second weekend in May (temperatures circa 25C). Ho hum.
Only failed to climb one hill, where to my immense discredit, I gave up before Mrs Supercool. To be fair, I could see that the hill just wasn't ending; she couldn't see a thing coz she was staring at floor while hanging on for grim death.
Only problem seems to be with the new chain slipping on the new block - but only when riding in the middle ring. Totally confused, coz gear-shifting is otherwise smooth and there are no problems in the big ring or the granny ring.
