Tyres

Quality tyres are vital for good traction and control while

accelerating, turning, and braking. Each brand of tyre has

its own individual mix of puncture protection, rolling resist-

ance, pressure rating, and durability. Finding the one that

suits your riding style best is the challenge. Tyres should

always be inflated according to the range marked on the

sidewall, never above the maximum recommended, and

they should be checked regularly. Worn tyres should be

replaced. Lower pressure results in a more comfortable

ride, but at the expense of higher rolling resistance. Bal-

loon tyres are now available that combine relatively low

rolling resistance, puncture protection, and a smooth ride;

they are well worth considering. With two adults on the

tandem we recommend having the tyres inflated to the

upper limit of the marked pressure range.

NOTE: It is important that both tyres on your tandem are

inflated to the correct pressure.

Wheels and removal

The wheels on your tandem are made up of three

components; the rim which holds the tyre on, and

provides a braking surface, the spokes which support the

hub in the middle of the rim, and the hub around which

the wheel rotates, providing a means to driver, with disc

brakes, a means of braking. All three parts should be

checked regularly (as per maintenance table), rims should

be checked for wear and straightness, spokes that they

are all at correct tension and none of them are broken,

hub for play in bearings and signs of damage to flange.

Rear wheel removal

Rohloff

Remove the clickbox from the left side of the hub. It is

recommended that you shift to the 14th gear before

doing this to help with reassembly.

When reinstalling the Rohloff you must orienatate the

torque arm such that it aligns with the lower disc brake

mounting bolt.

Alfine mechanical

Remove the shifter cable form the cassette joint by shifting

to the highest gear (8 or11 depending on the hub). Once

the cable is removed, undo the wheel nuts with a 15mm

spanner, and the wheel should slide out. When reinstalling,

ensure the wheel is fully seated in the drop outs and the

disc brake (if fitted) is aligned with the caliper. Tighten the

bolts to the recommended torque (Appendix A).

Alfine Di2

Before removing the wheel, it is essential that the Di2

cable to the hub motor unit is disconnected using the

Di2 tool supplied with your bike. Then follow the same

instructions as per the mechanical Alfine hub.
