I had a 2004 with 157000 miles. I just recently replaced 2 front wheels bearings, 2 new axles, 4 new shocks, 4 new tires, a 4 wheels alignment by my mechanics. When going over a speed bumps at slow speed, it makes a squeaking noise from the driver side suspension, similar to that noise of an old squeaking bed. My mechanic replaced all 4 lower control arm bushings and also lubricated/tighten the front sway bar bushings but noise still persisting. I suspected that the coils spring is rubbing the right front strut at somepoint when rebouncing over the bump. My mechanic disassembled and reinstalled in strut spring components and found nothing wrong. Please any expert advises would help. Thanks.
In home fire sprinkler systems it is not arranged that way unless you ask for it. In commercial occupancies, yes.
While some sort of reflective material is a good idea, you shouldn't depend on it. I remember putting some on a cycle many years ago, and the first time I rode in the dark I was almost hit by a car that didn't have it's lights on. No amount of reflective tape will help if there is no light being shone onto it. What you have is probably enough, you should now spend some cash on some good lights. I always use two lights at each end, partly to improve visibility, and partly in case one packs up. I've just had a rear light develop a fault, but at least I had the other one there when it happened. Round town on roads that are lit I have one light on full and one flashing, at each end, and if I'm on an unlit road then they are all on full. Spoke lights are a bt of a gimmick, OK they will show up from the side, but any drivers should see you before they see the lights. The ones that show patterns, messages and characters are very expensive for what they are, and won't really help in a road safety aspect.
I have used duct tape to seal a TIRE, but never a tube. I am not much for patching my high pressure tubes because of the balance issues. I never hit the road without 2 extra tubes in my seat pack. I do carry a small patch fit, but I use those to seal the inner casing of the tire. I should own stock in one of those tube factories, for I buy new tubes by the half dozen.
