Why We Still Push The 26" Wheels For The Road?
-
26” wheels are stronger than 700c wheels. Since tandems carry
more weight than single bikes, they are ideal for running 26” wheels.
-
26” wheels have less inertia and weigh less than a comparably
designed 700c wheel. Therefore, they accelerate more quickly, climb better
and are fast.
-
26” wheels offer a versatile tire selection, from narrow
road tires to aggressive mountain bike tires.
Since 26” wheels have inherent advantages over 700c wheels,
da Vinci Designs took it a step further and created the V-22 rim for the
ultimate tandem wheel set. All da Vinci tandems (except the price-sensitive
In-2-ition model) use the V-22 rim.
