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. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

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?

Now days the rage is to mold in the spacers in metal directly into the crank arms. No separate spacers. |

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. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

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. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
