Tandem restoration
Discussion
I have a Dawes Super Galaxy tandem which I plan to restore. I'm good with the repairs for everything except the stoker brake on the rear wheel: it's completely knackered.
I am wondering if it would be better to just replace the whole rear wheel with one of the same size and more modern equipment (perhaps a disc brake?). Does anyone know if a) this is even viable, and b) where I could buy one from?

I have a 'Dale mtb tandem. If you can... Go for a disc brake front and rear. Makes a massive difference on a tandem.
I'd also look at a thud-buster seat post for the stoker. You only need to forget once to call out a pothole on a rigid seat-post and it's a hell of a job convincing them to get back on
I'd also recommend the stoker stem I have. It's highly adjustable. I'll have a look at the make over lunch and report back.
