II. Sizing
The Captain
Most important, the frame should not be too big for the captain. If in doubt, too
small is better than too big. The captain must have straddle clearance over the top
tube, because he/she will need to be able to to stop the bike and keep it upright
while the stoker remains clipped into both pedals. On mountain tandems, make
sure the captain's frame size is two to three inches smaller than on a road tandem to
allow for a higher bottom bracket and additional straddle clearance.
