Tandems that were manufactured
up to the late 1950s were all fitted with specially produced
over sized components to cope with the extra weight and
force two people could apply. These oversize components
were not compatible with any solo parts. As people started
to purchase these older machines second hand, such as
Claud Butler and Sun, they wanted to ride them somewhat
seriously but found that the gearing was totally inadequate.
So they set about trying to fit modern solo equipment
but came up against the oversize problem. At this point
the Tandem Club looked at the problem and decided that
the answer would be to reduce the rear bottom bracket
to solo spec using sleeves and at the same time offer
an alloy eccentric with solo threading to replace the
very heavy steel one.
By fitting these two items the choice of cotterless transmission
and multi-gearing became available enabling cyclists to
use an older frame with modern equipement.
