Your VISION dealer will have assembled your tandem and set
the adjustments for you. Refer to the "Anatomy of a VISION"
section for part names and locations. This section is intended to
help you with making adjustments yourself.

The main frame comes in two parts - start by sliding the rear
frame section into the front frame section. Do not grease the rear
frame! Slide the sections together and adjust them until the anit-
rotate pin pops into place. Then tighten the pinch bolts to 65 inch
pounds.

forward on the seat, not being used to the relaxed, laid back
position. Sit back! Enjoy the comfort!
Now pick a dominant leg. For most people this is your right leg,
but go with whatever is most comfortable for you. Pick your leg
up and swing the crank arm around so you can easily reach the
pedal. If you are using toe straps, flip the pedal clip over your
foot, but keep the strap nice and loose to start with. Swing the
crank around until your foot is in a "cocked" position;
somewhere close to the top of the pedal stroke. This spot is
different for everyone, the key is to find the spot where you feel
best about putting a lot of power into the pedal. It helps to hold
the bike from rolling with either brake.
When you're ready, release the brake, and push forward firmly
on the pedal. As you start moving, lift your other foot up and
keep peddling. At first you probably will wobble a little, but
don't panic and tense up! Just relax and concentrate on making
small corrections with the handlebars. The most common
beginners' error is to over-control the bike, ending up steering a
set of "S" curves down the lane. If you relax and let your hands
sit lightly on the handlebars, you will find it easier to avoid this
syndrome. Lean back! You are probably trying to lean forward,
to mimic that "other" type bike you've been riding. Another
common first time mistake is to stare at your feet — after all,
you've never seen them before! Look ahead, see the scenery
you've been missing.
