Re: Memories of the Dawes Galaxy
Bought my son a Galaxy, I think it was an '87 model, one of the last ones built in this country with pencil stays, he usedit for several years , then I took it on for a few more, I thought it rode fine, sold it to a chap Exeter way; occasionally wonder if it's still around. I have a friend with an e...

Re: 30 Crossings of River Tamar
Yep, used to ride with the tandem club, over on the Torpoint ferry, and back on the Cremyll, plenty of people to manhandle the tandems, they used to lay across the bows, I seem to remember, wasn't a cheap crossing though, and the skipper was not too keen if he was busy

Re: Circe Helios
Sorry forthe long delay, cought up with the KHS sausage dog owner today. Very happy with it, folds easily to go in the boot of their car, it's stable, stops better than their Dawes, but perhaps not as quick rolling. Different tyres, brake blocks and rim material, I guess could make these differences...

Re: Circe Helios
They have had the KHS for a couple of years, they also have a Dawes Double Edge and solos, they wanted a tandem to go in the car, but not at the price of the TandemTwoesday, (which they had borrowed), they have no complaints that I know of, seem to go well on it, I'll ask them futher and report. Don...

Re: Tandem frame flex + sturmey
If a longer cable is needed, say, if you use a trigger shifter, a cable joiner as sold by the likes of SJSCycles would sort it.

Re: Bar ends inboard of brake levers
My answer, bodge, to this, was to join a short length from a drop bar to a barend with a jubiliegh clip, to take the bar end shifter.

Re: inner cable splitter
We have them on our TandemTuesday, no problem, gears stay still in adjustment, think SJSCycles sell them.

Re: V Brake failure
Seen this on a bike that had been carried on a rack on the rear of a car, easily done, I think having the front brake on the right accentuates the problem, it was designed to have the cable come from the other side. Brucey will put me right if I have this wrong.

Re: Baldies, how do you protect your head from burning under your helmet.
There are some slightly more breathable cycle caps, like airtex, made by Waltz caps, probably others. Don't use sun cream, if you sweat and it gets in your eyes it doesn't half sting
ask me how I know
