Rouleur tech podcast: Paris-Roubaix recap

Rouleur tech podcast: Paris-Roubaix recap


Paris-Roubaix is not just the hardest of the Classics, it's also a unique test-bed for some of the latest – and least expected – bike racing technology. Rouleur Digital Editor Peter Stuart is just back from his first Hell Of The North and he's been sharing some of his tech discoveries with host Dan Cavallari. Out this year go tubulars, rim brakes and double wrapped bars, replaced by tubeless clinchers, discs and even 1x gear systems. If it's good enough for Lizzie Deignan, it's good enough for us.
