I have to admit that I just bought the bike off CL and took it apart to clean/re-pack/change cables and housing. Being new to tandems I never even put a thought into coordinating the cranks and pedals. I haven’t even had the chance to ride it yet- it’s been crazy snowy here in Colorado.
First question I have is which is considered the primary chain? The derailleur chain? I never even thought of the pedal positions being in or out of sync.
So if I read your post right, you are suggesting keeping the pedals out of sync, right? Are they good like they are or would you suggest different positioning? Man, I am so glad you shared your knowledge. Please keep it coming- I’d enjoy hearing more. Thank you. Tim (JTD)
