Subscribe to GCN: gcn.eu/SubscribeToGCN The spring classic race Paris-Roubaix has made a very specific type of road famous on a global scale. Centuries old farm tracks, known as "pavé" are used to provide a unique challenge to the racers. This challenge comes from the fact that they are made up of large and exceedingly rough cobbles. To ride these requires the correct technique, exceedingly good bike handling, and the right equipment to make sure that both you and bike get through in one piece. We cover all of this, in our comprehensive How To video.
