Zwift Cycling Club

The Cobbled Classics are here, bringing some of the most brutal racing of the season, but why have the pros stopped using crazy custom tech and suspension for Paris-Roubaix? We dive into the science of tyre clearance, rolling resistance, and aerodynamics to explain why you probably won't see 40mm tyres on the cobbles anytime soon. Plus, we check out a weird new graphite chain lube on Kickstarter, share some latest Zwift news, and rate your rides in the Bike Vault! 🏆 Win a Selle Italia SLR 3D Carbon Opal White saddle and matching bar tape! 👉 https://gcn.eu/SelleItaliaOpalWhiteCompetitionGCN ⏱️ Timestamps ⏱️ 00:00 - Welcome to the GCN Tech Show! 00:24 - Why Pros Won't Use 40mm Tyres at Paris-Roubaix 04:00 - The History of Crazy Cobbled Classics Tech 07:15 - Aero vs Rolling Resistance on the Cobbles 11:00 - The Importance of Tyre Pressure 18:50 - Hot Tech 24:08 - Essential Spares & New GCN Merch 26:28 - Zwift Racing League News & Saddle Competition 27:52 - Comments of the Week 31:17 - Bike Vault Useful Links: GCN Tech Uploader 👉 https://gcn.eu/techuploader Subscribe so you don’t miss a thing 👉 https://gcntech.co/subscribe Insurance: Viewers in the USA and UK can explore GCN Insurance products 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNinsurance Sign Up To The GCN Newsletter 👉 https://gcn.eu/Newsletter Visit the GCN Shop 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnshop GCN WhatsApp Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNwhatsapp GCN Instagram Broadcast Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/instagrambroadcast Join the GCN Club on Zwift and ride with us! 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNClubRides What's the widest tyre you'd run on your road bike, and do you miss the crazy custom suspension setups from the old days of Paris-Roubaix? 🇫🇷👇 Watch more on GCN Tech... 📹 https://youtu.be/oIRpfjj5KEQ 📹 Watch our Editor’s Choice Playlist 👉 https://gcntech.co/EditorsChoice 📹 Watch the latest GCN Tech Show 👉 https://gcntech.co/GCNTechShow 🎵 Music - licensed by Epidemic Sound 🎵 #gcntech #gcn #cycling #roadcycling #roadbike #bike #bikes #bikelife #biketech #techshow #parisroubaix #cobbles 📸 Photos - © Velo Collection (TDW) / Getty Images & © Sprint Cycling Agency Brought to you by the world’s biggest cycling channel, the Global Cycling Network (GCN), GCN Tech is the only channel you need for all things bike tech – past, present and future.
