The infamous cobblestones of Paris-Roubaix have led riders to experiment wildly throughout the race's long history, but we’ve also seen plenty of winners riding relatively normal bikes, too.
With the 2020 edition due to take place this weekend but cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak, BikeRadar's Jack Luke and Simon Bromley discuss some of the weird and wonderful bikes used to tame the pavé over the years.
The duo also reveal the lengths pro riders and teams will apparently go to avoid simply running wider tyres.
