    wheel. I know tandems need very efficient brakes but is it normal to
    have two rear brakes in addition to a front brake?

    I believe my pals' G-twin has something along these lines, though I
    can't remember what sort of brake the second one is, but nothing so
    serious as a hydraulic disc. Neil said he was thinking of Magura rims
    to replace the basic cantis at some point for a bit more ooomph.

    brake used in conjunction with the first or as an emergency brake? Are
    the two rear levers both on the pilot's bars?

    Can't answer that for the above, I'm afraid.

    Well worth it - the cantis that a galaxy twin came with were rather poor. 7
    years on our HS66s are still great.

    Though there wasn't anything especially /wrong/ with the Vs on the
    Streetmachine I'm glad I fixed them with HS33s anyway. Everything is
    just so consistent and smooth now :-)
