Well it is not for nothing that this is called Hell of the North you know…
Makes you appreciate even more guys like Tom Boonen, Cancellara and de Vlaeminck. Crazy crazy hard.
Perfect race for it..
You know ...if Mohoric runs a dropper for paved races, why don't Roubaix racers try shock absorber posts?
Masochists???
Wasn’t last year women’s Roubaix won on a Domane? Which is kinda, sorta what you are suggesting. And also there is that Roubaix bike from Specialized, not sure if anyone used it this year tho.
BTW Mohoric used a dropper post to win Milan-San Remo-hardly a paved race but perhaps for the advantage on the Cipressa and Poggio descents. Clever, seen as this is a race decided in the last 30km and these two climbs/descents are what really matters.
Matter of fact it was exactly the Poggio descent that won him the race, it was crazy. Not as nuts as Pidcock at Stage 12 but still crazy.

That spindly fork man..
Well you warned me about the fork. And that was fair. And now it has a new fork. And a new headset.
I had a premonition about the cranks - and true to form 11 miles in the RH pedal came off.
Pedal or crank arm? Square taper?
Crank arm. Rummaging about for a spare Deore or similar, and if it needs a BB so be it.
Ugh. Good luck..
I'm just going to throw in my friends don't let friends buy Huffys statement at this time...

Weirdly, the frame is awesome, light, responsive, with a sweet point of lateral balance that makes riding skinny features easy and descending completely natural even for zero experience riders.
I strongly suspect this frame design was copied from a premium bike company- or just plain kept after an outsourcing contract - sometime around 2010.
Probably a trek or something.. all made in the same place..
Never...
Hahaha oohh booy, raised stems I need less than a hole in the head, honest. I had to slam the handlebars on my Spark almost all the way down to feel comfortable. I will ride a bike with handlebars higher than the saddle when pigs fly.
BUT! I don’t do DH MTBing so there is that.
