You did make me realize that we will never ride tandem. We had talked about it, but I can only unclip right first. She does left. That could be a disaster....or America's Funniest Video. :-)

PS I only know one other person in the group we ride with that unclips right first.
I'm a right-footer. Seems more natural to me.

The R540s on your bike are different from the 105 version. They use the older-style mechanism. There WAS a bad batch of the 105 version out there that was next to impossible to get out of. They seem to have corrected that.
