Why Were There So Many Punctures At Roubaix? | GCN Tech Show Ep. 434

This week on the GCN Tech Show, we’re investigating why there were so many punctures at this year's Paris-Roubaix despite it being the fastest edition ever recorded. We also dive into a massive week of Hot Tech, featuring the launch of the new Colnago C72, a limited edition Pinarello x Tissot collaboration, and a revolutionary airbag skinsuit from Van Rysel. Finally, we head over to the Bike Vault to judge your latest submissions—will yours be "Super Nice"?
