I've booked a cycling trip to participate in the Tour of Flanders sportive and the Paris-Roubaix challenge. I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts were on bikes. I've got a couple of options:
Cannondale Supersix Evo Hi-Mod - Rim Brake (probably max tire 28)
50/34 gearing with up to 32 in back
Pacenti SL23 rims - Never tried tubeless on them
Niner BSB CX Bike - Disc Brake
46/36 bearing with up to 36 in back (could also swap to 50/34 up front)
Pacenti SL25 rims - Used tubeless for low PSI, but never road tubeless
This going to be a 2 week trip, so I'll be riding more than cobbles. I've never done the road tubeless thing, so interested in tire recommendations. I could also just go the tubed route. I'm leaning towards the Niner for versatility and smoother rider, but has weight penalty over the Cannondale.
Thanks for your thoughts!
