My tandem has a gigantic 203mm rotor on the rear, plus Avid V-brakes on front+rear. It's been built years and years ago by knowledgeable people on a tandem-specific shop. However, I always found a bit strange that the dual rear brake is set up as rim=drag and disc=regular.
I'd have thought that the benefit of Hope's massive rotor is how well it copes with heat, making it ideal for drag break duties. Also it'd take heat away from rims, which can only be a good thing. Or am I missing something?
I'm doing some work on it this week, could take the chance to invert setup if knowledgeable people on here advice so.
