built for a 6-cog freewheel.

If so, then get back to me. )

Bye, now.

There's people happy to sell you anything, included some outmoded 27"
wheels. Have you considered upgrading the bike to 650b's? You'll end up
with a much better bike

That you Grant?

Yeah, now there's some great advice: ditch a somewhat hard to find
wheel/tire size that your bike is already setup for in favor of a
*harder to find*, oddball wheel/tire size with only a few relatively
expensive choices available. Then, go change out your brakes in hope
of finding something that works with your new weird wheels. Wow.....

Ozark, you got it exactly right today.
700C- cheaper, more available, the same benefits ( slightly smaller
diameter means slightly wider tire clearance) but 650B? Pointless.

Yeah, that's more like it for a tandem.

Agreed, but the OP seemed to want 36H rims.

But that's ridiculous; it's like someone using 16-spoke wheels for a
single bike... oh.

Never mind.

36 holes for a tandem? That had better be a lightweight team, or else
an exceptionally strong rim.

once upon I had the good fortune to watch a sidecar race in the rain
at turn 5 Road Atlanta.
the idea of a high speed downhill tire failure crash on a tandem is
interesting.
