Hi all. Trying to convince Mrs to finance a turbo, sweetener could be, "we could ride our tandem on it", anyone know if it'll work/cause any issues, anyone tried it ?

    No reason why not - all the power goes through the rear wheel just the same as on a normal bike...

    Very strange though!! Not sure I would want to be sat in front of my wife while we both sweat buckets like that.

    I'd say the one behind has the worse deal.
