Ouch! I sure wish I was a grandpa! But even then, you've got to do something to feel young :-)

Thanks for watching! I want to come to your beautiful country someday!

You’re welcome!

That’s great!

Totally! Thanks for watching. I love Mike Cotty. Need more cows and sheep too:)

And good luck on your ride. That sounds awesome!

@@tandemtravels Thanks Reed. Thank you for all the great videos and sharing your journey.

No problem! One of my most popular videos and it took me about 1 hour to make it start to finish:)

So glad to hear it!

They would all be different. Sorry I can’t help!

You’re welcome

Not really. Best wishes though!

Your welcome

I don’t know. I assume you have pressed firmly on the tailgate and then lifted the latch.

Yes, it's securely latched, she's considering the dealers option.

@@tandemtravels yes, she's considering the dealers option. Thanks for response and original video.

​@marklubecke4854 did you get it fixed? I'm having the same issues right now

So glad you enjoyed the video! How can I help? Send me an email at reedneubert@gmail.com

You're welcome!

Thank you!

I’m no expert, but it’s not much different than a tent trailer. Open a window and be careful with fire;)

Have fun!

I can’t remember! Sorry! The petrified went on with a brush I think.

Ok

Hey Jeff! So fun! Thanks for watching. We still dream of the valley!

Thank you! I’m so glad you have enjoyed them! Happy and safe Tandem Travels.

You’re welcome!

I permanently mounted mine. It’s been great.

Agreed! That’s what I eventually did.

I couldn’t say for sure at this point. But I apologize if I misspoke. I haven’t heard that from anyone in all the views. But it’s still possible :-)

Yes, it was kind of a beast! But we loved it.

Not that I know of

Thanks

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!

Not sure. That will probably take some finagling. You have probably already tried pushing in on the tailgate hard while you lift up. Good luck to you.

Thanks! You made my day!

Yours sounds so cool. I’m excited for you.

Yes I agree. Such a wonderful place we found.

It was sketchy for sure. So glad you enjoy the vlogs. Be safe!

Your welcome Randall! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

Larry you are my new best friend! Thank you so much for watching and especially for the editing props. I really appreciate it. I'm so glad you enjoyed watching.

i am looking forward to viewing the rest of you uploads now that winter is here .. lol @@tandemtravels

Thanks Randall!

You are too kind! And blessed to live in such a beautiful place and community. We hope to visit again!

I’m so glad it was helpful! Such an easy fix when you dig in.

Thank you Jeremy! Glad it was helpful.

Thanks Rudy!

Thank you Randall! Your compliment is much appreciated. Do it!

You're welcome!

That could work!

You're welcome!

Thank you! So glad to hear from you. We have a single 34 on the front and 12 gears on the back ranging from 11 to 52. Definitely geared for climbing. If you have a similar one by 12 configuration, you might want to consider a 36 or 38 on the front. Still plenty of climbing for a strong couple.

@@tandemtravels Thanks for your reply! Very surprised by your answer! It caused me to reconsider my approach, and led me to the questions below. By my calculations your lowest gear is 17.6 gear inches ((34/52)x27=17.65), and your next lowest gear is likely around 20 gear inches. However, in my 3x10 drivetrain my lowest gear is 20.25 gear inches ((24/32)x27=20.25). I would love to have your 17.6 gear inch for climbing! Around what gradient % do you tend to use your lowest gear, how much do you use it, and how much does it depend upon the amount of weight you happen to have in your panniers? Thanks so much for your help!!

Hey Bob. Great math! It's necessary and important. A few things. 1) We don't camp, so we're just carrying our clothes and other gear, jackets and wet gear, cameras, bike lock, etc. About 25lbs total. 2) Lisa is handicapped so it's hard to say what a fair comparison would be to two people with full power in their legs. She still carries her own weight, but I probably carry the luggage. In all our "non-pannier" rides we try to never use 1st gear. We consider that our pannier gear and reserve it for 9%+ climbs. Definitely nice to have. But it's a gear we didn't have until we changed out our 3X10 last year. So all the climbing you've watched was on the 3X10 that was probably similarly geared like yours. Our 2nd gear now is similar to our prior 1st gear. My bet is that you'll be just fine. Slow and steady wins the race. I hope that helps.

I’ll have to do that. Until then, all I did was paint the rails with a textured black paint. Then, after setting it up and getting a good idea of where the rails should go, I drilled some holes and used some small hex bolts with washers to permanently mount it on the side rails. Works great and looks great! I’ll see if I can get a video done on it. Good luck!

Can you still use your Tonneau cover?

@@MathewWolford yes. Because the tunnel cover, I have does not cover up the bed rails. But you will want to make sure with your set up that it won’t cause a problem.

Interesting. I’m sorry you had a bad experience. I cleaned out all the garbage and what was left. Hardened very nicely with the product. Good luck to you.

@@tandemtravels I would think all those products are near the same. They tell you, as you said, it wont work on rotten wood. I used Elmer's and one other and both worked fine. I am about to start a smaller project with the PC and will see what happens. I have already put on another brand of harder. If I could live life over, I would never have an un covered deck. We need to think more about our projects when building in the first place.🦇

Enjoy it
