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 …)

#BikeNite A3 Schwalbe pick-up or super-moto-x in 20x2.35 or 26x2.5 on most of my #cargoBikes / other #eBikes, some with continental's e-rated contact tires. All have conti tubes with the metal schrader stem and sized wide enough to match the tire with less stretching & losing thickness. I ride on the wet & messy streets of SW Portland and nearby suburbs where broken pieces of cars accumulate in bike lanes, some gravel or soft/mulch trails, often for kid transport.

@enobacon @ascentale @pete Interesting. I ride Schwalbe Super Moto X, but find them quiet slippery. They are nice and comfortable on really dry roads though. I am looking for recommendations.

@realSiegfried @ascentale @pete I haven't had any trouble with super moto x grip on wet asphalt, at or below 40psi. The pick-up have a deeper block tread that might channel water better. #whatPressureYouRunning #BikeNite

@enobacon @ascentale @pete Might also be the size. I run 27.5".

@realSiegfried @ascentale @pete I have the 26x2.5 super-moto-x on the front of the edgerunner, it sets up close to 2.8 on the 52mm rim, running 25-30psi #bikeNite
