I'm curious about the shifting problems you have heard about. The only issue we have had was with FSA chainrings. It was hard to get the chain to drop onto the granny ring under even a slight load. We switched to Shimano chainrings and the problem was solved. The rear, which is all Shimano, shifts as well as my single bike.

I know 2 other couples who have Calfee tandems, and none of them have mentioned shifting issues.

An August 2005 post on the Bike Forum's tandem list noted that two very strong riders threw chains on a Calfee tandem because of frame flex, though Craig Calfee replied to the post saying he didn't know of problems. Since my stokers and I aren't in the category of folks in the post I'm really not worried, just curious to know if others have experienced this issue.
