The Trouée d’Arenberg is probably the most brutal stretch of cobblestones in the world. At 2.3 kilometres long, it is one of just three cobbled sectors in Paris-Roubaix to receive a mythical 5-star difficulty rating. But can our infamous budget superbike, the Eurobike, survive these “pavés” of the Forest of Arenberg? There’s only one way to find out…

@grumpynerd
@grumpynerd 2 года назад
It just goes to show what I always say: even a crappy bike is usually pretty good, if it's set up correctly. It's a matter of perspective; compared to modern race bike the Eurobike seems primitive and unrefined, but it is far more capable than the bikes ridden on the *first* Paris-Roubaix in 1896. Modern bikes are the product of decades of experimentation and improvement; as long as you copy the frame geometry of a successful bike and use standard parts, it's actually hard to make a bike that isn't any good. That's why I support charities that refurbish bikes and provide them to people who can't afford new ones. The bikes on those co-op shops may seem dated, but there's a tremendous amount of good use left in them.

Well done Alex and Manon. Great fun as usual. My town out here in Western Pennsylvania has a fair number of brick-paved streets originally laid down between 100 and 125 years ago. It was discovered after they had paved over much of the brick that the macadam was in a constant state of ruin caused by snow plows, freezing and thawing, while the brick resisted everything. Brick is especially good on grades, because the action of braking on very hot days doesn't cause the somewhat plastic tarmac to deform. They should have just left all the streets in brick and saved a lot of money. Riding the bricks is definitely not like enduring Napoleonic cobbles, but an hour spent on the brick streets does take more out of you than gliding on mostly smooth tarmac.

Nice Video and I hope you will let the Eurobike survive.... and I want to see more of it. Its only a fair thing to maintain the cheep bike as you would do with one your lightweit high end carbonbikes. If the headset is not OK fix it, the spokes and everything else, look for them 😄. Buying a bike not from the dealer next to your home is always suboptimal. I ordered some years ago a really fine machine from wiggle and it was built up really shitty. Everything had to be adjusted and the screws needed to be checked carefully despite it should have been a bike to ride out of the box. I do not want to blame the mechanics in the UK for that who checked it before the sent it to me😉... but what I want to say. 💗give that bike a chance, no matter if its 300€ or 3000€.💓

I've not ridden this section of cobbles but have ridden cobbles in Belgium (Ronde challenge etc) and quite honestly, it's torture on any road bike. Fair play to the Eurobike for surviving Arenberg in one piece, unlike some bikes and wheels on the pro races at the weekend. And if the Eurobike is all someone can afford, then why not? I know bike snobbery exists in some bike clubs - not mine - but I would never criticise anyone's bike if that's all they can afford and it's what got them interested in cycling. Yes, it's at the lower end of the market obviously, but it seems it's proving a little more resilient than the folk at GCN were expecting.

I live in Flanders and have been riding cobbles all my life but in northern-France it’s just 10x worse. But after seeing this I don’t get how it’s possible that it happened so fast on a 2500 euro canyon when that thing survives the hole sector. Ride continental gp 5k’s, any tips? I love cobbles and would love to be able to ride em without having to worry riding 85k’s just to get there and to have that happen.

Only way this aging cyclist would even attempt that...would prefer to avoid it...is on a high end, uber light, XC carbon racing mountain bike with 2" wide tires and full suspension. Would love to see that comparison. $10K mountain bike duelly versus your personal road bikes. Glad you both survived and thanks for the content. A hollowed section of the famed race indeed and competitors' boys and girls are true road warriors. Brutal. P.S. Didn't even know a $300 road bike off Amazon existed. Have to give props to the thing for surviving. Handlebars and shifters looked to be the most un-ergonomic of their ilk on the planet. Heavily padded gloves and double wrapped at the very least. Poor Manon who would have dusted me on that section. A last note is...watching that...a couple of years back that race was won on a very stiff aero bike of all things....a bone jarringly stiff bike in fact, a Scott Foil. Still hard to believe a human could endure that level of torture and prevail. Supermen can do what others can't is the lesson. Only way to fathom it is...pro riders that prevail on the cobbles generate more watts at a lower cadence which effectively unweights the rider to remove stress off the body. Lower watt mere mortals get the tar knocked out of them.

It is a cheap and crappie bike but if I was commuting, I would want a bike like the Eurobike with all the rust. Less eyes would want to have it.

Simply the faster you go, the smoother it becomes..and from what l saw..you both were a bit slow..maybe for the camera.. Now you do a 100 miles fast first, then enter it..

It's best feature it it's un-theft-ability! Perfect for city commuter bike. If it's gone...who cares? (just buy another one)

Counts Alex in and calls him a thoroughfare three times and then tries to put her back out throwing the Eurochonk about. Manon is a zany, zany lady. :D

A heavy bike is great to start cycling, it is stable and will be easier to control. Plus every bike you'll ride after that will feel lighter than air 😂 Coming from a guy who started out (and still rides as a beater) an 11kg fixed gear

Manon shouldn't ride that bike. It's reach is way to long for her. That and the fact that the bars rotated down from the cobbles, put the brake hoods far from her reach, forcing her to ride on areas that aren't ridden on. GCN should have purchased two of those crappy bikes, in different sizes.

Sign me up. Wonder if the sales of the Eurobike goes up after each of these videos? You guys are certainly showing that the bike will take just about anything you throw at it. Fun Vid.

Two nuns on a bike ride decided to take a short cut along this route. The one nun said to the other, "I've never come this way before" The other nun said, "I know, it must be the cobbles!" 😂😂😂

I feel sorry for the presenters for riding there, but it looks does look gorgeous! Makes me want to visit the place - not ride there, and certainly not with an EuroBike lol

Thicker the frame & lighter it is stronger durability = carbon fibre . Thin Metal frame will last less on rough road
