Bike light recommendations

Hi

Can someone recommend some decent bike lights? I have a front one that attaches with the rubber band type thing that's pretty good except it turns on in my bag every time so it's always dead when I go to use it.

Needs be removable from the bike easily.

I would prefer USB C over micro USB. Or maybe rechargeable AA battery which I already own.

Also the rear light is gonna be attached to milk crate on the back rack.

It's for a city just to be seen so I don't need 7150 lumens.

Thanks!

I mainly use this rear light. It comes with a bracket so you can mount it to the back of your rear rack. Then you just clip it in. I hate the rubber band lights.

I'm also quite happy with this front light. The mount stays on your bars and the light really easily clips in and out.

Borth are usb-c. Don't bother with the planet bike front lights. Maybe their nicer ones are better but the mount is ass for the cheaper ones.

How I got down from the plane in Tirana airport, where they use stairs to get down to the tarmac.

I had to wait until everyone else had deplaned & were whisked away by a bus, then this large specialty lift truck arrived on the other side of the plane from the stairs, elevated up and put over a rickety platform. For someone with acrophobia, it was terrifying. Thankfully, the driver kindly assisted me. #Ableism #Accessibility #Travel #Albania @disability

View from inside a large specialty lift vehicle as it starts to descend from an Austrian Air plane. The driver is seated in a chamber with a full-sized window doors at either end. Adjacent is another doored-chamber, which leads to an extendable rickety metal gangplank. The view is as I'm seated on a bench and out of camera is the rest of the large chamber, which had two plane aisle wheelchairs in it.

View of the rest of the airport lift vehicle, showing two aisle wheelchairs in it. (I can't remember the official name for these.)

Plane aisles are not accessible to regular wheelchairs because the airlines are busy with designs packing people in like sardines. So these are narrower wheelchairs dependent on having an abled air employee push you down the aisle. #Ableism #Accessibility #Travel #Albania

Large metal specialized airplane lift vehicle inside. It has large rectangular windows with rounded corners. There's a small rail underneath the windows for accessibility. Two narrow chairs with no armrests, and black upholstered padding and black woven straps stand against the wall. Some sort of portable barrier with aluminum tubes framing orange construction netting lies on the floor. The end opposite the driving chamber has a larger window, showing us elevated over the airport tarmac, and a view of other planes in the background.

#Iran #AlJazeera #bias
@palestine

Just a word about Al Jazeera. They are amazing at covering Gaza and West Bank.
Not so good at covering Syria, Hezbollah, Iran. I hear that it's to do with their backer Qatar. Qatar is US compromised. They have their own reasons, no doubt and I hope they're hedging their bets. They recently got closer to Iran. They know that with a direct US/Iran war, they're in the crosshairs. They have the largest US base like 50 miles from Doha. Good luck to them..

ยปWhen the Zionist left erupts in celebration over a reckless attack on Iran, it reveals a stubborn attachment to the fantasy that, no matter what we do, or how deeply we alienate ourselves from the region we live in, the army will always protect us.
[...]
In this sense, the fantasy of immunity granted by the army runs even deeper in the Zionist left than on the right. The rightโ€™s answer to its security anxiety is annihilation and ethnic cleansing โ€” thatโ€™s its endgame.ยซ

Stop using ideological and academic language to address political issues intended for broad public consideration.

Make simple language statements to clearly articulate your points so "everyone" (the vast majority) can understand, not just those with specific education and knowledge.

If you can't do that, then you're insufficiently knowledgeable about your topics, to paraphrase, and shouldn't be pushing your points as being intended for the general public, but just for an elite class, "comrade"

Hydraulic System Failures: Managing Leaks, Heat, and Pressure Issues


 These problems are all too common, particularly in aging cranes or those under heavy use without regular upkeep. Fortunately, most issues provide early clues. Learning to recognize and address them can save you from costly repairs and downtime.

Hydraulic systems power cranes, enabling them to handle demanding tasks with ease. When theyโ€™re functioning well, theyโ€™re practically invisible. But when leaks, overheating, or pressure loss occur, your crane can grind to a halt, stalling your work.

These problems are all too common, particularly in aging cranes or those under heavy use without regular upkeep. Fortunately, most issues provide early clues. Learning to recognize and address them can save you from costly repairs and downtime.

Leaks: Small Drips, Big Problems


Hydraulic leaks are one of the most frequent issues in crane operations. Some are obvious, leaving puddles under the machine. Others are sneaky, seeping slowly and causing unseen damage. Damaged hoses, worn seals, or loose connections are typical culprits, worn down by relentless pressure.

Leaks do more than waste fluidโ€”they hurt performance. You might notice delayed responses or reduced lifting power. Many operators top off the fluid and carry on, but thatโ€™s a short-term solution. Unchecked leaks lower system pressure, let air into the lines, and can trigger overheating.

To fix a leak, stop the crane and trace its source. Clean the area, restart the system, and inspect closely. A slight oil spray near a fitting can indicate a serious problem. For Kobelco cranes, keep spare hoses and seals ready to avoid delays. A reliable crane parts supplier can deliver Kobelco crane parts quickly, keeping disruptions to a minimum.

Overheating: A Growing Risk


Hydraulic fluid needs to stay within a specific temperature range to work effectively. When it overheats, it loses viscosity, reducing lubrication and causing parts to wear out faster. This can lead to complete system breakdown.

Look for signs like a burnt odor, dark oil, or uneven crane movements. Overheating can result from low fluid levels, clogged filters, blocked airflow, or a failing cooling system. Pushing the crane too hard, especially in warm conditions, can worsen the problem. Older or heavily used cranes are especially susceptible.

Troubleshoot by checking fluid levels and condition. Replace old oil and clean filters. Clear debris from the cooling system. Using low-quality parts on a Kobelco crane can contribute to overheating, as they tend to run hotter and fail sooner. Stick with Kobelco crane parts from a trusted crane parts supplier to ensure system efficiency.

Loss of Pressure: When Strength Slips


Nothingโ€™s more frustrating than a crane that canโ€™t perform. Loss of hydraulic pressure can make even simple tasks a struggle. Internal issuesโ€”like a worn pump, stuck valve, or leaking cylinderโ€”can sap pressure, even without external leaks.

Pressure loss can seem abrupt, with slow or jerky movements disrupting operations. Air in the system, often from leaks, is a frequent cause. Start by checking fluid levels and looking for bubbles. If the problem persists, a pressure test may be necessary. For Kobelco cranes, verify that recent part replacements meet standards, as subpar parts can throw off pressure flow. A dependable crane parts supplier can provide Kobelco crane parts that get your crane back to full strength.

Keeping Issues at Bay


You donโ€™t need a full-time mechanic to keep your hydraulic system in checkโ€”just a proactive approach. Regularly inspect fluid levels, scan for leaks, and heed odd noises or smells. Catching a small issue, like a loose fitting, is quick and cheap. Ignoring it can lead to costly repairs, like replacing a failed pump.

High-quality parts are essential. For Kobelco cranes, using cheap components invites trouble. A reputable crane parts supplier ensures you get reliable Kobelco crane parts, saving you from headaches and downtime.

Closing Thought


Hydraulic systems are tough but not indestructible. Leaks, overheating, and pressure loss are warning signs that need immediate attention. Left unchecked, they turn minor problems into major costs.

Stay vigilant with regular checks, quick action, and trusted Kobelco crane parts from a reliable crane parts supplier. This keeps your cranesโ€”and your projectsโ€”moving forward smoothly.

โšก๏ธ The Aerospace Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announces to the dear Iranian people that moments ago, a new and decisive wave of missile attacks was launched as part of Operation "True Promise 3," more powerful and impactful than its predecessors.

These precision strikes targeted the command and control systems of the oppressive Zionist entity, utilizing advanced operational methods supported by sophisticated intelligence and armament capabilities, enhanced by the blood of martyred leaders: Bagheri, Salami, Hajizadeh, and other aerospace heroes.

This technical superiority led to the disruption of the enemy's multi-layered defense systems, to the extent that some of its Patriot and defensive systems targeted each other, resulting in a major breach of the Zionist defense system, despite its full support from the United States and Western countries and their provision of the latest technologies.

Today, the prophecy of the martyred leaders has been fulfilled, who repeatedly affirmed that Operation "True Promise 3" and subsequent operations would be more painful, more accurate in targeting, and greater in impact than any previous operation.

This operation has also proven the falsity of Zionist and American enemy assessments, and clearly demonstrated the depth of intelligence and strategic failure in their calculations regarding the Islamic Republic. Today, we are witnessing the beginning of the collapse of the Zionist occupation entity.

We direct a clear message to the supporters of this criminal entity: precise and effective strikes will continue relentlessly until the elimination and complete disappearance of this artificial entity.
