And how was the test ride?

Not so well actually. By the time we had reached the end of the block one of the front pedals had come loose. A couple of miles later the pedal simply fell off. Turns out I somehow managed to ruin the pedal threads. Probably has something to do with the DS crank being on the right side.

In light of this new problem I have decided to overhaul the entire drivetrain. To keep the number of DS cranks as low as possible, I will change the setup to a right side drive.

Ahh. I’m very sorry to hear that.
So the NDS chainsets weren’t tandem specific?
It can easily work to have a right hand drivetrain, especially with the new wide cassettes, and as a plus you get rid of the front derailleur which apparently is an issue on tandems.
