Update on this: I found a non-Shadow Deore M591 at the local Performance
Bike and put that on the tandem, worked perfect with the 12-36. Even
worked with my Microshift brifters without even fiddling with the barrell
adjuster or the b-screw, go figure. Shifted perfect into every gear.
One thing
Maybe try the Celeste with shellac?

I didn't really give the Carmina's a fair chance. I installed them a rode
to work twice. I was very happy with my Sugino's and use the triple daily
so went back to those. I used a 116 BB but noted that 120 would be better.
The one Michael is offering would work fine.
