Very happy customers

After 30 years on our Dawes Super Galaxy Tandem, in the depths of a miserable winter, we decided it was time to upgrade our tandem to one with disc brakes. To our surprise some suppliers even object to tandems with disc brakes but JD Tandems didn’t. We ordered when there was a discount offered in mid-winter and delivery was surprisingly quick. Delivery to us in France was monitored all the way and we were kept in the picture all the time. The tandem was delivered almost ready to ride, I was so delighted to see the whole back end, even the wheel & mudguard were all assembled, no need to fiddle around with gear adjustments. Pop on the front wheel, mudguard and handlebars and we were ready to go. I had read much about riding steel frames and riding aluminium frames and after 30 years I got off a steel frame onto an aluminium frame and thought what a load of twaddle I had read. After trying the original setup for a while we reverted to our Brooks saddles and our old pedals, that was personal choice and nothing else has changed. With the weather finally improving the tandem has proved a joy to ride, the control provided by the disc brakes is all I would have wished for and the back-up from JD Tandems has been outstanding. As of this moment, we are preparing for our first 1000 km tour on the new tandem, starting in four week’s time – with relish !

Our first Tandem

After a lot of expert advice from the JD team we settled on the velocity race as our first tandem , and after almost a year of owning it we are delighted with it to the point it's our go to bike for almost all of our rides with the half bikes (as they are now known ) collecting dust . The bikes is smooth with no vibration , steers well and is comfortable all day , be it on the climbs and descents of our native high peak in Derbyshire or fast rides across the Cheshire lanes , The kit which comes on the bike is excellent , we haven't had to change a thing it all works perfectly , the disc brakes are a fantastic addition for the dales and hills where we live and just boosts confidence on hair pins and fast descents and in the recent Cheshire 100 sportive it attracted constant positive comments from other riders and many envious glances from other tandem teams . In short a great tandem , well thought out , we can't recommend it enough - excellent Barney and Cheryl Cunningham
