Ah, just found it, 230-240 lux.

Ah just found it, nvm 😁

@@gicking3898 : Was that stated on Igaro's site? The lux rating has to be pretty good, at least 100 to be able to light up the road at ca. 60m well, and total light output in lumen is I would roughly estimate at around 400-500 for my settings. This depends on speed and setting (you can limit the output to give more buffer for low speed sections and/or for USB output). It can be estimated from the LED power output: I run the LEDs at about 4-6W but Igaro did some measurements too I think, I will check and put it on my site.

@@gicking3898 : I may joke about that from time to time but it comes from how they behaved long ago towards for example Philips with denigrating remarks about the Saferide 80 (a light that even now, 10 years later, is excellent). This attitude issue of course doesn't just change and thus continues to show in their claims about their own products even now. They think they are fantastic, but what is reality, well, very different. The only light that they make which I liked was the E3 pro with cutoff, though expensive for what it gives... But it is not just Supernova. With so many products I wonder "Do these people use their own products?". This is not just about bicycle parts, but everywhere. First having been active in programming, later in reviewing bicycle parts, along with just 'life' happening, has given me understanding of how this works, an education in psychology better than if I had studied psychology ;-)

@richardeblantonii5893 : Probably tomorrow I will finally ride with the taillamp but, perhaps tonight. Still need to combine the cable. I let the front light run on 75% which is enough to see everything well, 100% would obviously be better but then you need to ride faster and for the touring I'm doing that isn't happening (70 - 180 km, on mostly bad roads, with I estimate at least 20kg load and making lots of stops to make photographs, my average speed is about 16.7 -18 km/h). There are many really good taillamps for standard dynamo headlights, or for direct connection to the dynamo which is an option here too and I am considering that to try out, and see what happens. The R1 doesn't have the distributing optics as in such taillamps so I may make it diffuse with sanding or glue something on it, I will see after my first test.

@richardeblantonii5893 : I uploaded a video indoors + outdoors, not so blinding, at 10%-20% it is bright enought, 55% when riding was very bright even forwards to me. Not necessary...

@@diabolidoll : Thank you for your comment, I will read what you put on your site. I got my impression of gamergate from various articles online and it will take a bit of time to get to 'the truth'... One comment already: I haven't seen any of 'keeping women outside of gaming' in the retro gaming community that I was involved in, before this time of ganergate.

@@diabolidoll : I will already add this, as it will take time: 1. In computing, incl. gaming, there is a overabundance of autists and anti-social nutters (the latter are bullies, and are just like autists drawn to certain interests, professions). I encountered this in discussions related esp. to Linux. I wasn't fased, I made them rage via my arguments which they could not counter... (some people emailed me that they agreed with me, and stated that they didn't want to deal with the abusive comments). There is much more on this but here I will just tell that I decided to try OpenBSD, then FreeBSD, then NetBSD and settled on FreeBSD. The reason is a relaxed environment, not the cult like indoctrination that everything should be GPL (the point of this licence is in fact as stated a takeover of the world, and there is similarity in groupthink as in cults. It was early on softened with the 2nd licence LGPL but the essential aim was unchanged). 2. That you were harassed doesn't mean the original goal was not to counter manipulation of forcing women, diversity etc. in everything as it is being done now, which gives paint by numbers TV series and films with lectures that make just about everything unwatchable. Same for games. Note the following saying from a TV series, or perhaps it was from a film: "Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean nobody is out to get you". 3. On seeing reality: How do you know reality from seeing a part of it up close: There is a problem in general when standing too close: Not seeing the forest for the trees. Are your experiences representative or from a fringe of nutters? For me with Linux I decided there are too many anti-social nutters, including Linus Torvalds, so I decided to never use Linux again as OS on my PCs. 4. The wikipedia entry on gamergate reads as total fantasy, something a SJW would write, and one article I read stated something similar... 5. So it could be both: The movement was about countering a forced change and also that you got caught up in it and interacted with such nutters who perhaps didn't like women there or they lumped you in with others. But there were and are such nutters which are trying to force such changes too, you can see that in the insane rhetoric that people put out such as the CEO of sweet baby inc. (what a perverse name for a manipulative bunch of people!). People may think doing specific things are good, but often idealists are actually the worst people, just like in cults (see Bhagwan/Rajneesh/Osho and many others on my website, with my analysis/commentary).

@@diabolidoll : I read a part of the book on your site and you mention polyamory (which is a complete waste of time), you look outwards for everything bad and outwards towards bad things that may happen, you worry about everything, you write that you are autistic and yet talk about banter and other things that autists don't do. You seem to me more to have repression of emotions from trauma which is similar to a former friend of mine who distrusted everyone, distrusted me while I was the only one who properly helped her, though with the implicit and only requirements not to distrust me/not to disrespect me, which are logical. She was also an artist, but emotion poor + repressed so definitely no humour. She complained that nobody needed her art, said that her mindset/distrust came from past experiences but in reality it came from herself, because you cannot live life as an eternal victim. She could have had everything that she wanted in life, she chose nothing by insulting me. She worried about life, I don't worry. "How can you not worry?" she asked. Well, I told her something similar as in my video about cognitohazards (which is one the the most stupid concepts I ever heard): worrying is pointless, do what you can and go with the flow of life. I don't care what people say or think about me, I don't worry, I take action against people when needed (including against the police when they refused to take action in a case), etc. Looking to blame others means you will never see the truth nor be happy. The first step is to accept reality and let bad experiences lay behind you. My friend explained some of her distrust towards me on previous bad experiences but the only result of that distrust was that I withdrew my offer to build a business together with which she could have done everything she said wanted to do in life. And so she created a confirmation, sort of, I suppose, of yet another bad experience, but caused by herself. I tried one more time but she seems to have given up on using her talents. I will read further but my comments, if you are interested, are almost certainly not going to be to your liking... Perhaps reading your text will make me better understand her.

@WHS_reviews My writing has been reviewed by professionals. 😂 You couldn't be more wrong. But that's okay. That's the internet for you.

@@diabolidoll : I am not wrong and your smiley indicates not taking comments seriously. You obviously don't see reality, and don't want to see reality. You state that you writing had been reviewed by professionals: What does that mean, in what sense? In a sense of factuality, or in terms of psychology? If the latter then it must be by incompetent psychologists...

@RS-il5zw yes, it is a pity that you need to change cranks as well but it is cheaper to do that than to keep replacing bottom brackets! The square taper BB that I installed is still running as new...

@Beng12952 :The thermos ultimate flask 900ml looks interesting, light weight, slightly lighter than the Stanley Adventure of 750ml, but I don't see it for sale except in the UK. Thermal properties look ok but not great from 1 review: after 12h from 97 C to 68C, which means k= about 0.038 ( swhs.home.xs4all.nl/reizen/tests/thermosflessen/index_en.html ), worse than the King 1.2l, Stanley clasic 1 l, stanley adventure 0.75 l, etc. So a trade off between weight and thermal performance. As for your food flask, Stanley has a lifetime warranty, did you try to get it replaced?

By the way, can you see my 1st reply? It looks to be hidden...

@@WHS_reviews All I know is that after 24hr, the water is still hot enough to burn my finger and makes a decent brew. Drinkably hot after 48hr. I didn’t do any testing. I didn’t know about the lifetime warranty but sadly didn’t keep the receipt. I read terrible reviews on the Stanley flasks also which put me off, then a post on a mountaineering blog persuaded me to try the Thermos. Seems like it’s hit and miss with flasks…

@@WHS_reviews I now prefer bringing a stove/titanium cup where there’s access to water, especially as the water weighs more in the pannier…

@@Beng12952 : I saw some titanium thermos bottles on Aliexpress by the way, perhaps could be interesting to try out but as far as quality, I haven't had any issues yet with my thermos bottles which I use quite a lot, except 1 from the Thermos brand. I used it at home before travelling again about 2 years ago but teas was cold within 1 hour. It was replaced by Alfi (the company), took a long time though, a few months which is why I bought a Stanley thermos bottle... It was 4 years after buying it (warranty 5 years). I used the amazon receipt that I downloaded from the page of purchases. That was useful, it can be hard to find back receipts..

I don't know how many there are of each of these, but it seems even of the T34 there may not be that many left in good condition now, but of course when they were put on pedestals or displayed here, there were a lot of them and not considered to have any value. Besides some damage, the Mig 15 looks like it could be restored to near good condition, not sure about the tanks and I don't know about engines still in those tanks but usually steel degrades far more than aluminium, getting them in working condition would likely be a huge task, I'm not even thinking about this aspect for the Mig15.

LOL masterpiece. Okay buddy. Keep coping

@@YungEagle3k : what are you on about? You sound like an Ivan, there is no coping by anyone but you, and you clearly upvoted your own comment!

@FredChagnon : I would like the outputs to be separate, and I would like a button for basic settings, but there is no alternative if you want a lot of light + USB in one device and not use a USB converter that you can switch to when you don't need light. The only real alternative is using the spinup F12W front wheel generator, but there are no lights that you can use with it that are close to what the C1 puts out. So for riding on bad roads in the evening and USB charging day + evening, this is the best and nothing else comes close so far.

@@motomoto898 : yes, the link is near the bottom of my page on saddles, to this page: swhs.home.xs4all.nl/fiets/tests/zadels/brooks_en.html I also mentioned breaking in and making the saddle only wet in the area of the sit-bones to speed up breaking in, if desired...

@cmoneytheman : Those fans don't seem to be available anymore. The blade design looks interesting, but is the performance/noise ratio better than with Noctua? Probably not... The fans that are supposedly close clearly have worse noise characteristics when listening long enough, as I experienced with the fans that I tried and as I noticed in videos that let you listen though the people making those videos often don't properly listen long time to compare and talk about what stands out after a while (which would happen when sitting with a PC for longer duration such as programming, text editing and no music).

Nature and animals usually have that effect (unless it is a Lion running toward you for example, but there are none here :) ). Not just the cat, I saw a beaver (I think it was) there which was unusual, interesting...

@@andrewpease3688 : having some issues with youtube, I will try again: @andrewpease3688 : Disagreeing -> disliking is not coupled for me, but the reverse is often coupled: If I dislike someone then it is to do with some form of anti-social behaviour. If someone is anti-social then invariably they are not using proper arguments, which means I disagree with them... In general I dislike anti-social people not just for their behaviour but also for their inane reasoning, and often they are authoritarian too (such as if someone gives a critical comment), while being incompetent/not understanding what they are talking about. And regarding those channels about that crime case: I don't dislike these channels/creators but it is stupid and unnecessary of them to use fake/manipulative thumbnails and titles.

@@andrewpease3688 : Summary of my answer: No, you made an incorrect deduction.

@sylvain8 : Good question, let me think about this, perhaps the Magicshine 1700 could be an option, though some people report a broken mount. The light colour does look a bit warmer than most lights which is important, though cutoff to the side is IIRC fairly sharp (which can give the feeling of being trapped in a tunnel of light. I will check more options...

@CelestisForgeUK : Yes, why not. Some people I know still use it for messaging so still need it, further I used it for StVZO/e-scooter regulation consulting too, and to call phones it has been useful now and then. The issue is that it has become worse and worse, not that I still use it.

@@SurpriseMeJT : I think I answered that (along with a commenter) in that it looks like the M-wave and planet-x Geoff are likely from the same OEM, just M-wave is 66cm, geoff has a longer section for grips that you can saw to 66cm if not needed. The angle I think is better on the m-wave/geoff than on Jones' 2nd version of the h-bar if you want to use arm rests as I do (that is how I use it in NL and also on my bike in Ukraine). The BLB drifter: need to check a bit, I have some size specs of the M-wave and should compare/estimate esp. for space between the first tube and the second one. As I mentioned the Ergotec space for 25.4mm stems doesn't have enough space between armrest/gripping, and from the pics of the BLB this may be an issue with that one too. I will estimate later from the pics.

@@herosstratos :True but that is not what this issue is about: The issue is not wanting to accept requirements for hair styles in say sports (short hair required for wrestling), factories with machinery which are obviously relatively new and in business environments. The answer is one that is as with many issues: You just know when you are in given situation. I suspect that a certain style of dressing was always required, anywhere in higher society. In airlines there are strict requirements for dress, fresh smell, hair etc. for representation. The issue is really as I said in the video, as you implicitly said in your response and as a commenter on that video wrote: The people here are creating issues, they do not want to fit in, whereas in your examples these people I presume didn't start an uprising complaining about discrimination due to hair style. The issue thus is, these 'activists' and other trouble makers do nothing positive, they are hustlers, they should instead 'get with the program'...

@@MrDarthShoe : I used original Pinion oil for the first oil change. I bought a litre of 75-w80 which is apparently what the Pinion oil is but haven't used it yet. I will do that at the end of the year or early 2025. I bought that oil based on the results that 'Buck Crockett' posted on youtube for used pinion oil. I could not find a similar cheap test lab in the EU... Perhaps I could use the US test lab that he used, if so then I will send them Pinion + Rohloff oil to test (I have unused oil kits for both), to have more data points. I bought a litre of what the Rohloff oil should be (5-W30) too (this was the result of an oil test done on Rohloff's oil, listed on a cycling forum), I will test the Rohloff replacement oil when I return to NL. I did an oil change just before leaving NL about 2 months ago, with less than the previous recommendation of 25 ml, and the hub was noisy... I will add more from the 5W30 oil for the hub to see if that improves it back to normal. Rohloff decreased their oil to 12.5 ml per bottle, a good time to change to generic oil...

@@WHS_reviews main reason that people are talking about on bikeforum about pinion oil substitute is that GL4 and GL5 oils can cause corrosion of yellow metals. I wonder if substituting pinion oil with GL4 or 5 is safe for gearbox

@@MrDarthShoe : yellow metals, you mean brass? I'm pretty sure that is not used in the Pinion gear box. I had a search and found a post about this but only this corrosion isdue but I don't think the pinion gearbox uses brass bushings, only ball bearings.

@@MrJohneblaze822 yes indeed, I stopped commenting for that reason anywhere but my own channel after the introduction of youtube's AS (Artificial Stupidity) last year. Suddenly comments disappeared almost instantly instead of 'just' getting ghosted which was a phenomenon that was already very annoying but similar in being based on certain word combinations resulting in that nobody but yourself seeing the comment. The cause is wokeness and 'political correctness', trying to prevent 'hurt feelings', which has resulted more and more in absolute insanity and the creation of snowflakes, i.e. people who have a psychological meltdown over words and 'hurt feelings'. I thought about a video in which a lecturer used a word in chinese which sounded like a slur in English and the students were offered counselling after that, that: "if these people need counselling over a word then they are mentally unstable", and then I thought "aha, so the counselling is actually needed for the people who have a problem after that lesson!" :) Trying to make sure that nobody's feelings ever get hurt results also in not being able to discuss the truth, and thus to find the truth (see self-identification with gender for example). This is a direct result of implementing the insane idea of political correctness.

@@jors3834 : I think hitting the lock is a bit of a difficult issue in that what is the most fragile part may not be immediately obvious. Hardened steel which is cooled down with a spray-can to very low temperature is more likely to shatter than less-hardened steel, and hardening is normally not through and through. Whether the U-part is more likely to shatter is then not clear because of the size (diameter), hardening, and the extrusions. But in any case, the hammer method is dangerous in that you could destroy what you want to steal. Is it a good tool? Btw, quite a while ago I watched a youtube 'short' about cutting through metal with diamond coated discs and someone made a reply to a comment like "A so you still believe metal cuttings discs are the best way to cut through metal". Diamond coated discs are available cheaply (In the Netherlands, Germany, Poland for example from the 'Action' stores), and these are the way to go for cutting. It would be interesting to do a comparison of extreme cooling + hammer and needing to be careful, then cutting the same lock with a diamond coated disc. What is also interesting is mini-grinders. The normal ones are extremely loud, the small ones make barely any noise. I watched a video about a year ago of cutting a lock with these. Takes time but for the non-angle-grinder resistant locks that means at night a thief wouldnot attract attention. If there are diamond coated discs for these grinders (about 90 mm diameter discs), may these could also work for such locks.
