Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1992 15:58:10 GMT

At a used record shop I picked up two square dance albums.  Both are on
the heavy record-stock that (I assume) predates vinyl.

One was without calls, and had some good arrangements and medleys on it.
The other had calls, but they weren't what I expected - no right hand
stars or pass thru's, but it had calls like:

"The lady go round the lady and the gent go round the gent, the gent go
round the lady and the lady go round the gent" or

"First couple to the right, circle four a while, then turn your partner
'round in that gay cowboy style, then swing with your opposite as if it
were your own, then swing with your Rose of San Antone"

The calls that caught my attention were "make a basket" and "turn the basket
inside out".  They were in a dance done to Jingle Bells' melody, although
the words were non-seasonal (in fact, I don't recall a single word that 
matched Jingle Bells).  Partners were periodically exchanged in singing-call
style.

I bought a Semcycle several years ago.  I have abused it pretty well and it is
still in great shape.  The only things that have worn out have been the tire
and the seat cover.  The Semcycle fork is made out of two pieces of stell that 
are joined together at the seat post.  It is quite flexible which gives a
comfortable ride.  The spokes are strung straight from the hub to the 
rim, rather than in a crisscross pattern, and are heavy duty steel.  The seat
is great, the best unicycle seat I've ever sat on!  The only problem that I
have had with it was that the nut and bolt that holds the fork together would
loosen and would need to be tightened before each session.  After about a
month, though, the unicyle was broken in and the problem never occurred again.

The drawback to Semcycles is that they are expensive, $175 back when I 
bought mine.  They have introduced a newer model, called the XL I believe,
which is in the neighborhood of $115.  Semcyles come in 20, 24, and 26 inch
wheel sizes, XLs come in 16, 20, and 24 inch wheel sizes.  

You can reach Semcyle at 

		P.O. Box 40353
		Redford, MI  48240  USA
		313-537-8175

The folks at Semcyle are very helpful and ~very~ prompt in filling orders.  

I have no connections with Semcyle, I am merely a very satisfied customer!

I haven't ridden a unicycle in several years, but I rode a Schwinn
extensively during undergrad (Harvey Mudd College in case anyone
cares). The biggest problem I had with the Schwinn was that riding
backwards and "hovering" (rocking back and forth in one place)
caused a lot of stress between the pedal and crank. I had to replace
the pedal and crank on the right side about once per year.  Some
sort of "lock-tite" compound might have helped solve the problem,
but I never tried it. Do the more expensive brands have similar problems,
or have people come up with ways to solve the problem?

If there were such a thing and it didn't cost a fortune, something

Cateye 6000 has cadence, speed, average speed and timer. This timer
goes continuous, i.e. the average speed includes time waiting for red,
and so on, but I think this is more real, because a little pause gives
you more strength to continue.

I treat leather saddles with softened bee's wax. Commercially, SnoSeal
in the tube is pretty good stuff. It's colorless and odorless. What I
do when the saddle is new and once every three months thereafter is:

 1. Wipe the saddle with a clean dry cloth to remove foreign material.
 2. Use a standard blow-dryer for hair to mildly warm the leather.
    Anything hotter is too hot. If it's hot enough to damage human hair
    it will damage the leather -- the hotter the worse. 1200 - 1500
    watt drier. Warm to the touch is fine.
 3. Rub in softened bees wax liberally. Alternate with the hair drier
    and keep applying bees wax until the leather stops 'drinking' it in.
 4. Wipe of excess. Buff.

This keeps my Flight looking very nice. It's invisible and doesn't alter
the flexibility or softness of the leather. Water beads off it.

Regular contact cement. True, it shouldn't happen but it's certainly
easy to repair. Follow directions on bottle of contact cement.

This is a trouble. I think it varies from saddle to saddle. I've got

> webel@guvax.georgetown.edu

I've got a set of Minoura Mag rollers that I've had for a few years.
Overall, I've been happy with them.

a)  They fold up, and are thus quite portable and compact.  Just the thing
    for the small apartment, or for stowing in the trunk for that trip to
    the big crit, where you surely won't have a decent warm-up area.
b)  As you may have guessed, they have an additional magnetic resistance
    unit, which does not have any way of remotely adjusting the amount of
    resistance, i.e., you've gotta get off the bike to change it.
c)  The mag unit has a separate belt that attaches to the rearmost roller.
    The unit itself sits on the rail, and is held in place by tightening
    a screw down against the rail.  This has a tendency to back off, and
    the whole assembly inches its way backwards, resulting in the the
    mag unit's belt becoming looser and looser.
d)  Most of my roller workouts are at low resistance, but for longish
    bits of time.  Mostly, it just feels like forever.  No trainer is
    going to beat that rap.
e)  $200 sounds about right, though it's been about three years since I
    bought mine at $189.
f)  Sprint workouts are possible, and can be kind of fun.. but are best
    done early on in the workout.  Fatigue does amazing things to your
    sense of balance.
g)  Dismounting is a piece of cake.  If you've got enough stability to
    ride the rollers in the first place, getting off is the least of
    your problems.  Getting ON is the hard part (for me).
h)  My Minoura rollers are not as round as they should be.  It makes the
    ride a bit "bumpy," and the initial learning curve was probably higher
    than it needed to be.  I don't know if that's typical of the Minoura,
    or just this particular set.

year I've tried Avocet, Vetta, and Titano gel saddles, a Flite, and a 
Waveflo titanium "Elite", after switching from my old Concor.  I also tried 
the new Selle Bassano "modular" saddle, which is split lengthwise and is
adjustable in width (actually the center gap is adjustable, which is
supposed relieve perineal pressure for men).  The Waveflo is the most
comfortable by far.  This is the first saddle I've ever tried where I can
get off my bike after an 80-100 mile ride and feel no discomfort at all.
As someone else noted, the "flo" stuff is only in 2 small sections in back,
but I'm not even sure it's that stuff that makes the saddle so comfortable.
I've noticed that the points where the rails support the frame of the 
saddle are farther apart, front to back, than my other saddles, and the
frame is made of a very flexible plastic.  So it's kind of like sitting on
a miniature hammock which sags in the middle -- I think this helps the
comfort factor.  BTW, anyone want to take the Selle Bassano off my hands 
for $60 o.b.o.?  (It retails for $170 - $180).
