Makes you realise that even light weight components are much stronger than you think

Back flip was cool

Not sure Mark Cavendish would agree with you about lightweight components after yesterday!

Looks like we've found the new 'do it all' bike.

No more HT or FS for Mayhem, no mre what tyres for the Kielder 100, there's your answer, a Raleigh .... whatever it was!!!

He's definitely a roadie, he doesn't say hello to one person in the entire video. ๐Ÿ™‚

Isn't this a bit of a rip of what Chris Akrigg's been doing for Mongoose? It certainly has that novelty factor, but imagine what he could do on a proper bike...

All roadies can do this. We just choose not to.

If roadies wanted to ride like that they'd ride mountain bikes ๐Ÿ™‚

Ashton's still got it, hasn't he!
