35mm Tires, 62t Chainrings, and More Tech of Paris-Roubaix 2025: Part One
Apr 13, 2025
Details on the teams opting for a 35mm wide tyre, Josh Tarling's massive 62t chainring, and one of the best top tube cue sheets we've ever seen.
The sun, unfortunately, wasn’t out at the 2025 Paris-Roubaix, though you could feel it was trying.
The sky tried to spit, but the mood was as vibrant and excited as ever on the start line of the 2025 Paris-Roubaix. And as ever, with the race rolling out from the start line in Compiegne, there was a treasure trove of tech to delve into. Unlike the past few years, this year certainly seemed to bring interesting setups. So, shall we delve in?
Below is part one of our Paris-Roubaix tech gallery. We have details on the teams opting for a 35mm wide tyre, Josh Tarling’s massive 62t chainring, and one of the cutest top tube cue sheets we’ve ever seen.
Intermarché-Wanty is using every little bit of tire clearance it has
If you’re reading this after the finish, I’m willing to say that a few of the Intermarché-Wanty guys had wheel changes once they’d taken on a few of the grubby sectors because there is no way their wheels were going to rotate with even the slightest of dirt on them. Just look at the photos of the minimal gap between their Cube Litening Aero C:68 X forks and the Hutchinson Racing Lab tubeless tyres in 35mm.
Others were being a touch more realistic with wheel rotation hopes, by using the Hutchinson Blackbird Racing Lab All season tyres in 32mm, another product that was only released a few weeks back. Those tyres were wrapped around the Newman Streem Allround wheels in a 49/54 mm depth.
