And our last question of the week:

Q8. What did your last week look like? Do you have a photo to share from this past week? Cycling-related or not, it's fine either way.

@poorpossum asks:

I'm teaching myself to wheel build, and green-lit to work on this endeavor on shop time, so it's time to buy a dynamo hub.

Q7. Who's rocking dynamos? What are you using? Lights, hubs, pictures, experiences, and any other accessories would be great to see!

If anyone needs specifics: 36h, quick release, and disc (ideally center lock). Oh, and vanity demands that it must be silver.

@gbargoud asks:

Q6. Do you prefer parts that require regular maintenance but are extremely easy to fix if they break (for example chains, cable brakes and derailleurs) or parts that require virtually no maintenance but are not easily repairable at home (belt drives, hydraulic brakes, electronic shifters)?

@Amgine asks:

Q5a. Are there better/more robust/puncture-resistant #BicycleTires? Which would you use?

The tire liner I used back in the 80s looked vaguely like an over-sized rubber band, but turned the point of those thorns aside from the inner tube. Are there products like this you would recommend?

Q5b. And the evergreen discussion: ever tried run-flat tires?

@ai6yr asks:

It recently was raining and high 40's/low 50's with wind here, and I decided I would not bicycle to the store (having not researched proper clothing).

Q4. What would folks who ride in cold conditions recommend for clothing for cycling in very cold rain with wind? (I was worried about getting wet and cold and hypthermic).

@scottsthoughts asks:

Q3. What are we doing for styling our hair when we need to look good but are getting there by bike? Has anyone found styling product that holds up okay under a helmet? Any quick styling tips for throwing something together upon arrival?

I've lately been doing a lot of talking in front of large groups, but I don't have a ton of time or resources to freshen up before going on.
