wheel. I know tandems need very efficient brakes but is it normal to
have two rear brakes in addition to a front brake?

I believe my pals' G-twin has something along these lines, though I
can't remember what sort of brake the second one is, but nothing so
serious as a hydraulic disc. Neil said he was thinking of Magura rims
to replace the basic cantis at some point for a bit more ooomph.

Well worth it - the cantis that a galaxy twin came with were rather poor. 7
years on our HS66s are still great.

cheers,

Though there wasn't anything especially /wrong/ with the Vs on the
Streetmachine I'm glad I fixed them with HS33s anyway. Everything is
just so consistent and smooth now :-)
