I thought I would try and reawaken this thread. Have just signed up for the ASO Paris Roubaix challenge, yes not the full course but will still be tough and a big step up for me personally (friends think I have gone crazy).
So any advice (seems like a lot of experience on this thread), will be doing it on my specialized tarmac (I am not quite crazy enough to do it on my fixie), plans to put on 25c tyres but anything else I should be doing. Tape? Gloves? extra padding?
