Hi, We tandem on local paved bike paths and canal towpath and usually choose the level rides. Some rides we have gone up a few short steep hills. It's a light mountain tandem with wide range gearing. The lower gearing is more important because it is harder to go up a hill than down more so on a tandem. Going up, she wants to go faster, so I say "pedal harder" And going back down if I push too hard I get screams that it's too fast! We fell only once going too fast on a turn and got double the scrapes and half the egos. She's always glad to get back on fortunately. Rear is 11-32 Shimano 9 speed; Front tripple 28, 38, 48 (I think, I'll have to look again at the front). Indexed shifting, which sometimes sticks because of the long cables that can get rubbed unexpectedly. Ken P.
