Tandem triple right rear arm ok to use ?
 
Is there any reason this thing won't work on my single?

Thanks

Assuming you have a compatible BB, 170mm LH arm, 110mm
chainring and bolt set already, yes you can cut away the
inner ring seats:
http://www.yellowjersey.org/crankcut.html

We used to do that back in the years when compact doubles
were not offered.

However if you don't have the other bits or if you can't
trim the crank casting it's not especially cheap and a
complete crank set w/BB may well be better value.

I think he's asking if there's any reason it won't work on a non-tandem,
not whether or not he can convert it to a single chain-ring crank.

I have a question. Is there anything unique or different about the drive crankset on a tandem? Compared to a single bike. I realize the non drive side arm has the extra chainring on it to mate up with the captain's crank so both cranks turn in unison. But for the drive side rear crank arm, is there anything that specifically makes it a tandem crank instead of just being a drive crank suitable for any bike?

As I am sure you are well aware, a long time ago, the inner ring had separate spacers to get the inner ring out in air. Now days the rage is to mold in the spacers in metal directly into the crank arms. No separate spacers.

You're right.
Although there were other drive formats, modern tandem
cranks consist of:
A standard right rear crank.
Both lefts are single RH type crank with LH pedal threads.
Right front is a simple left type crank with RH pedal threads.

Which is superior and good engineering for that overly
torqued inner ring hardware.

What is the superior way to keep the chain
straight on tandem bikes?

I once saw a small chainwheel, slightly bigger
than an RD pulley wheel, in a vertical track,
so it could be adjusted up/down to interfere
with the chain.

This made sense to me, maybe because
I understood it, but I have since then seen
modern tandems and they don't have it.

Sure, many drive formats.

What I meant is that bolts should be in shear to the extent
possible. A stack of spacers under a bolt leads to bent bolts.
