Tandem ATB riding...

Bev and I did a little morning ride on the ATB. We explored a new road we had seen lots of times but only today explored it. Bev is doing great! We climbed some pretty good hills and only stopped on the steepest ones when we couldn't get traction. I could really see the need for a lower gear on those hills so I ordered the freewheel today that gives us 32 teeth on the final cog. Moving from 28 to 32 will give us some advantage. The problem that I see is losing any range between 24 and 32. The jump from 4 teeth to 8 teeth at the end like a bailout. Also the derailleur may not like the bigger cog. I guess I can just put the old one back if it doesn't work out. Meanwhile, we can bail out to a better climbing gear. Once we get in shape or if we anticipate more climbing, we can redo it to the 14-28.
