Re: Paris Roubaix this past Sunday: "The Phonak machines were to roll out on 36-spoke DT rims and hubs (front and rear, tied and soldered at the rear so that the wheel will remain true in the event of a spoke breakage) and Continental's new 'Competition' 25mm tubulars, featuring the Vectran layer designed to provide improved puncture resistance."

Must be an old-timer mechanic on that team...
