I’m turning pages in Part 3 of Lars Clausen’s book, “One Wheel–Many
Spokes.” An enjoyable book, I think, and recommended reading for the
Coker-owners and/or touring types. Gosh, I’m inspired to crank-out
some longer distances on my unicycle. (I’ve pedaled just over 50
miles over the last two weeks on my new Coker. Thanks, Martin!)
Anyway, I’m writing to learn a bit more about the strange saddle and
handlebar arrangement Lars used on his 9,134 mile trip. I’ve seen the
photos in the book and on his website (www.onewheel.com), but these
are not helpful. Can anyone out there (John Childs, Lars Clausen?)
provide more information about his saddle-n-bars? A couple of
up-close photos would be wonderful. (And, gosh, it sounds like he was
bustin’ an inner tube 'bout every 100 miles on that air saddle. Is
that typical for air saddles? I gotta get past that 30-minute time
limit on my KH saddles, and so I’m now in-the-market for the air
saddle and handlebar conversion.) Thanks! --carl (North Dakota)
