Tech Podcast: Tubeless testing for Paris-Roubaix
from Velo Podcast · host Velo
Neil Shirley from Enve Wheels joins tech editor Dan Cavallari on the Tech Podcast to recount his recent trip to France to help NTT Pro Cycling riders find the optimal tire/rim combination for the spring classics. Shirley spent time with Edvald Boasson Hagen and Michael Gogl as they rode the Paris-Roubaix cobble sectors. The idea was to get the riders accustomed to tubeless tires and find the right combination to counter P-R's brutal cobbles and the smoother pavement miles in between. Cavallari and Shirley also talk about what makes tubeless tires faster than tubed and tubular tires, as well as some of the reasoning behind the "wider is faster" phenomenon.
