The chainstay isn't abnormally short though. They've just shortened the wheelbase with a curved seat tube.

that jackson tandem is really weird. anyone think of a logical reason to have the chainset at the front, I can't.

that's fucking awesome.

Front crossover drive

A major, but little-appreciated advantage of crossover drive, is that you can use front drive. Front drive makes a lot of sense on a road tandem. In front drive, the drive chainwheels are on the front crankset, as shown here:

Front drive has some important advantages:

You can use any chainwheel-sprocket combination without chain angle problems, since the long front chain reduces the angles.

The drive chain lasts longer, because the wear is spread among more links, and so the sprockets also last longer.

Both riders can see and hear the front derailleur.

Stresses on the bottom brackets and the frame are lower than with rear crossover drive.

You can switch easily and quickly from the conventional rear crankset to a kidback by using a chain that runs diagonally from the kidback down to the front crankset, and lashing the conventional rear crankset to the frame so it does not turn. You do not have to remove the rear pedals when switching to the kidback.

why dont you and dancing james go out on your bicycles and throw yourselves into the path of a refuge lorry, I bet that would make a right mess seeing the size of your two heads being smudged all over the concrete

you utterly vacuous cretin, what the fuck is a refuge lorry?

i believe its what they transport the victims of domestic violence in

I think there's a e missing

Or is it a lorry you take refuge behind when the shit hits the fan

If you look at the BJ tandem, you can see what looks like a braze on for a front mech on the rear ST....

maybe it is not built as bob intended?

The more obvious clue that it was built with a more conventional set up in mind is the dimpled chainstay to provide chainring clearance.

Do they do tandem CX?

I think he wants harm to come to you and and an articulated wagon of illegal immigrants.

The more obvious clue

I guess it depends who's looking....

That^^^ is in fact single-speed, tandem, cyclocross, racing.

A tad niche.

Looks like great fun though.

Looks epic.

Tandem cross, just when you thought cycling couldn't become more stupid.

Tandem singlespeed cross, just when you thought cycling couldn't become more stupid.

I agree.

How's your tandem build coming along by the way, Rob?
