Hello Dustin,
My guess is that the pivot angle should be choosen large, e.g. 70 or
more degrees, to prevent the weight at the rear to influence the
steering behaviour.
I do not think that the trail matters so much as the angle, and you
probably can get away with taking a trail similar to existing projects.
So if you go flevo style, a positive trail of 9cm(?), then you will need
a steering damper to keep the front part upright. If you want a negative
trail (-14cm all up to -28cm), you won't need that as the bike will keep
itself upright as you sit on it.
good luck with your project! I'de love to get my girlfriend on a
B2B-tandem!!
best regards,
Dirk
