This morning was working on a tandem that me and a friend share. Trying to keep it as budget as possible.. so it still looks pretty ropey.
have changed the bars, cabling and levers.
thought it took 26 x 1 3/8 tyres but it doesn’t.. requires 26 x 1 1/4. So had to buy them from lbs which has been the biggest expense so far (cost more than the whole bike put together).
Need to change the wheels soon.. currently a mess of rusty chrome, corroded spokes and tension is all over the place. 700c looks like it will fit without issue, rear dropouts are spaced at about 150mm and front about 90mm, but will spring out / in a little.. so in the market if anyone has something suitable..
