Have been doing some work to the tandem to sort it a bit nicer for us as besides setting up the stoker end for Caleb I haven't ever got round to the little things I keep meaning to do.
I gave it a strip down and a semi deep clean which was well needed and then fitted some Bluemel mudguards in red that I had buried in the loft for years. I originally bought some new SKS guards in silver and then remembered these. Tried both and much preferred these as I think the red suites it. Caleb agrees, so all good.
I also finally swapped the bars and mismatched brake levers out. I know they were mismatched for a reason as the left one was a STI lever with the gear outlet carrying the auxiliary rear brake cable with the other being a standard non aero brake lever. So these were switched out to a set of Tektro aero levers onto a nice Nitto B135 Randonneur handlebar, one of my favourites. New red cables and a long overdue service seen it ready for the next years adventures.
