This little post could easily have just been called "New Wheels" because there really is nothing tandem specific about them.

For the tandem that is. Earlier this week I got a centerline drawing of the tandem dimensions. After studying it for a while I had a lot of trouble visualizing just how Nicole would fit in the stoker compartment. I tried to work the math out in my head then finally gave up and decided to give Brent a call.
