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.

I was just pointing the OP to what they asked about. The rest is their
decision. Perhaps they have been using 36H previously, with good
results; who knows.

That said, the 40H and 48H rims that Nashbar is selling cheap are the
better choice.

If the couple consisted of a 55-kgf man and a 40-kgf woman, 36-spoke
tandem wheels would not be ridiculous.

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

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.....

Party pooper! I already got out the twine, shellac, and vine basket of
whippets.

You forgot the beeswax.


Oh. and bring some snappers, for after the whippets. ;-)

Unless he has 36H hubs. Then they'd be somewhat difficult to use.

Indeed.

If it's 27" rims you seek, Nashbar has several at good prices:

Sun AT18 36H -$9.99ea

That isn't bad, is it. I quit looking at Nashbar some time back. I
see a pair there, though, that will serve my needs. Seems like I
looked once and found only 700c... not that there's anything *wrong*
with it.

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

Most of the stock rims for tandems nowadays are 36 hole. It bugged me
at first, being used to 48; however, we haven't had any issues on a
stock Ibis machine... but then, we're a conservative, recreational
team. The old Paramount I'm restoring had 48 and they're *heavy*. I
had toyed with building a second set of wheels, but I think I'll just
lace in new 48 spoke rims since Nashbar has 'em.

One man's "outmoded" equipment is another man's antique! It's an
early Paramount tandem under restoration and I wanted to stay with 27"
rims for aesthetic reasons... 'course, by that logic, I'd keep the
cast iron rims; however, I'm not *that* aesthetic!

Yeah, I ain't knockin' it, mind you... and I know that a Bendix
2-speed "kick back" is *so*... like... you know... last century, man.

Isn't it weird what people will think is cool? I mean, whoda thunk
that the GM Corvair would be a hot item today? There are whole shops
dedicated to obsolete bicycles. (Does "Memory Lane" have a web page?)

But, then... friction shifters still work today after being on the
road for 30 years. Do you suppose that any of today's equipment will
still be running in 2037?

We can build the new Velocity Synergy 27 on a Phil Wood freewheel hub or
other hub for you.
