Oh, Summer, time to pamper tandems.
If I'm not mistaken my tandem was built by these guys. It's not the one pictured, but I can see that V-brake as drag is their modus operandi. Weird, but they must know something I don't.
ough
My thoughts echo your own.
I'm also fettling the tandem this week - come mid-July we're taking it up and down the alps around France and Italy. I was looking into getting a disc fork made up for easy improved stopping, but ran out of time and motivation so instead am pursuing a dynamo front wheel as a useful upgrade (just not useful for stopping...). The bike's been making some annoying creaking over the last few rides, so time for new chains all round and a bit of disassembly/grease/reassembly. It also needs a new headset fitting as we've split the lower cup on the old one. Thankfully got one in the cupboard, somewhere...
