Circe Helios Omnis 8spd Triplet

Any Helios Tandem model can have the Triplet module added to convert it into a Triplet, but for general usage, like the school run or leisure family rides, we recommend a build based on the Helios Omnis-8sp with front and rear disc brakes.

Retro-Fit

Especially for Circe Helios owning families where younger children are out-growing their child seats, we’ve developed a triplet retrofit that allows two children to join in the pedalling. It is possible to add the Triplet kit to the Helios tandem both from new, or retrospectively. All retrofit options require the tandem to be returned to Circe Cycles for fitting.

Retrofitted to any already owned Separable Helios from £1000 Retrofitted to any already owned non-Separable Helios from £1550.

What frame size do we need?

A common question and one that we do take seriously as it makes the difference of riding a Tandem safely and for long term enjoyment.

How do we work this out? 

Here are some pointers we talk about regularly with our customers.

• Your ‘Saddle Heights’ are critical and found commonly too low for efficient cycling.
• Once your ‘Saddle Height’ is correct then your feet will only just touch the ground, by tip toe.
• To find the correct ‘Saddle Height’ we require a ‘Standover’ measurement.
• To do this simply stand with your back to a wall with your cycling shoes fitted, then place a book (approx. 30mm wide) between your legs and position so that it touches you firmly.
• Then measure from the top of the book to the floor.
• This measurement is your ‘Standover.’
• Remove 100mm from this ‘Standover’ measurement and this will leave you with your ideal saddle height to start with.
• The ‘Saddle Height’ is measured from the top/middle of the saddle to the centre of the chainset.

Now when looking at our Frame Measurements matrix below and look for the Standover column.  The measurement shown are the maximum of your Standover for front and rear riders.  Therefore you can look at frames that are lower than this.

Of course our Custom Sizing Option is  available if you are unable to fit the many sizes available.  We charge to produce a TandemCAD for you that is refundable once the Tandem is placed on order. Click below if you wish to go through this process.
