Any MTB TANDEMS here? show them!

In reality if one rider wants to coast, it is very difficult for the other to force their legs up and down, because they just stand on one pedal at the bottom of the stroke. It is very off putting for the other when it happens though!

That's funny! I can hear the shouts from behind already, 'No we're not going pedalling through 50mph down this hill'

Mate of mine did John O'Groats to Land's End on one with his missus in the early/mid 90's.
I'm sure it was a Cannondale

I don't know, it has only been used for test rides in not so steep terrain. I haven't ridden a long downhill yet. Waiting for the snow here to dissapear.
I also plan to change the Grafton brakes for some IRD Switchbacks to get a little bit more brake power.

Putting a Magura on the front would help. Cantis on mine were really scary. There is too much cable stretch for the rear brake.
