Ian Fulcher at the above address.
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.
