I lost #BikeNite Q3 yesterday, I am very sorry! But here it is. Happy #BikeMorning for those in my time zone!

@pete asks:
We've had a fair few questions on tyres, tubes, and valves and it's apparent from responses that we've posters who run all manner of setups.
Q3. What do you run and why? (For eg, have you made a conscious decision or just used whatever came with your bike? Tyres: Chosen for ride quality, durability, grip? Tubes: latex, butyl, TPU? Tubeless: fave sealant? any insert? etc, etc …)

And our last question of the week:
Q8. It's weekly photo time. What did you see this week? Share a photo if you'd like. Cycling related or not is fine. Tell us about it!

@xenogon asks:
Q7. Has anyone waxed a bicycle chain with soy wax or other vegetable wax? (via @Cyclist)
I just did mine with paraffin, which worked great but since most of the wax ends up spread across the countryside I wondered about using something biodegradeable.
(If not wax, are there other consumable products, chain lube etc, that you recommend that are biodegradable?)

@xtaran asks:
Given that the freewheel of my Brompton Electric G-Line started failing today and the cassette was spinning without the wheel in both directions...
Q2. What _unexpected_ part failures have you had on your cycle(s)? (Ordinary flat tires do not count. 😉)

@gcvsa asks:
The constancy of the #BikeNite Q8 photos has made me wonder:
Q6. Can anyone recommend good camera mounts for a bicycle?
I never remember to take photos while riding, but I think if I had a camera mount on my bicycle, I could easily use an older point-and-shoot. I guess maybe an Arca Swiss or other type of quick release mount would be good for this, better than a standard 1/4"-20 tpi photo mount?

@uxmark asks:
Last week there were some great examples of street/road names, including some fun photos.
Q5. What are some examples of notable _signs_ that folks have encountered while riding?
Could be traffic signs, street names, billboards, whatever. Share photos if you have them 😀🚴♀️❤️

@thesquirrelfish asks:
Q4. If I'm traveling across the country for a bikepacking trip, but my only bike is an e-bike... what's the best choice?
Is there good shipping or quick purchase when I arrive/sell at the end sort of option? I've only bikepacked from home before.
