Articles and content are needed for the next edition of the Tandem Club Journal. It could be an account of a day ride, or a long tour, preferably with good quality photos. Any technical notes, queries, solutions or customisation would also be of interest I'm sure. Send content to editor@tandem-club.org.uk

So my next enquiry having been pointed in the right direction for crank shortening is, does anyone have an old stokers triple/single square taper crank sets that they would want to hire out, loan or sell as there is four to six week waiting when I send my cranks for shortening?
