!Jones said:When setting up a double cable lever (Mafac) on a tandem with a hub
brake, does one usually set up the cantilevers on the double and the
hub on the single pull?I can see an advantage to that; however, I like to have the wheels
brake independently, also. Generally, I put the drag brake on the
stoker's bars, but with such a neat lever, I'd like to use it.Can it be set up successfully running the rear cantilever and the drag
brake on one lever? ... in your opinion, of course. Most anything
*can* be done; however, some things are better candidates than others.
I'm thinking about setting the drag to hit first with an in-line
spring.Jones
I wouldn't use a double set-up like you propose. The hub brake on a tandem
is most often used as a speed modulator, independent of the rim brakes, it's
role as such is very important.
