Thanks for the info on rollers (I wrote the original request).  I've bought
myself a set of the new Tacx rollers and I think I'm going to enjoy them.
I've learned to balance on the things although I haven't hooked up the fans yet.
I found that the best way to learn was to lean against one side of the doorway,
get your wheels up to speed, and then inch the wheels closer to the wall so that
you can start balancing yourself.  If you are in a doorway you can catch your-
self on either side, and you can lean on the doorway without interrupting your
legs' spinning.

The new rollers have heavy metal fan guards, so the fan-breakage problem doesn't
exist anymore.

Happy spinning,
