  • Frame sizing on tandems is less critical than on solos, provided you can get your saddles and handlebars in the right places. Unusual stem lengths, etc have an almost irrelevant effect on handling because of the effects of the increased weight and wheelbase.

    Many folk prefer slightly shorter and/or more upright positions on tandems to help with maintaining control over a heavy bike with a jiggling live cargo (captain) or to get some separation between nose and captain’s back (stoker). Tandem aerodynamics mean that individual aero optimisation is less critical.
