Trials ace takes Wiggins’ bike for a spin + video

Ashton=Legend, WD40=Problems!

Use oil for oiling, cleaner for cleaning and keep the WD40 for hinges and padlocks.

Thats nothin i did better last night & THEN I FELL OUT OF BED an bumped my head

Nice riding.

Not so impressed by the clip at the end showing - in true tragic tour podium girl style - that cycling is for men, and women are there to service the men. After the olympic successes in women's cycling, well done for dragging your gender back a few years ladies. Maybe one day you'll get your own bikes.

pinarello stunts = win
wd40 marketing = fail

They are heavy for a reason.....

Love the wall of death, and I thought velodromes were scarey.

The wheels are our 5.0 Carbon Clinchers. They're all hand built in our factory in Barnoldswick. The only two things special about Martyn's wheels were the rim stickers and the green colour on the hubs. I must admit we expected him to damage a wheel, but they're still fine.

Showed my son, he said " You should learn to do that Dad"

What an awesome bid, he's got the skills!!!
Wish I had.

Utterly bonkers. But the best bit for me was seeing a bicycle in Blenheim Palace. We are banned from there, even if we don't do stupid things on the bridge.

That is no way to treat a Pina!

Only joking - great skills or should that be skillz!

Absolutely CLASSIC !

I felt physically sick on the bridge shot... Je-sus he's got balls!

oh, it's a WD40 ad? I'm not even joking!

but what he did can be likened to doing parkour in high heels, literally no words!

Saw him riding THAT bike in Porthcawl about 2 weeks ago, struggled to get my head around doing trials on a road bike... Let alone a Dogma The wheels up close are well nice! #seriouslyjealous

personally always been a fan of hope stuff, and although have a set of their mtb hubs, have never had their hoops, yet.

after that video will definitely be looking at some. sod being a promo for WD40 should be a promo for hope (and pinarello)

i think the wheels are hope hoops pro3 rs-sp 3.0 (although happy to be corrected)

Superb... Made me feel happy to be alive, a smile on my face and an amazed chuckle at many of the stunts... God like bike control... One skilled and cool guy!!! Tops! Thank you very much for showing us this.

What model are the wheels?

So we asked him, and this is what he said:

I can honetsly say that i didn't break a single thing. the bike is all good and I rode it on a normal road ride yesterday. I did have a spare set of wheels from hope but they are still in their boxes. Had some great crashes though, the out-takes edit should be quite funny

anyone who can do stoppies on road calipers is clearly a witch. BURN THE WITCH!!

fucking amazing

Someone I know just bought one of these Pinarellos, dunno what she'll think about the video clip

I prefer GT85 to WD40 but there isn't much in it

Absolutely superb, bet the out takes are even better !

That was awesome great to see one of the Martyns ripping it up. Danny who?
Always used wd40 for bike maintenance. Everyone has their own routine & techniques

This is from his twitter feed when asked how many wheels he damaged

"@cyclingplus @liverpoolmerc No damages mate. Just one bike, still in perfect condition. Road it in a more traditional way for 1hr yesterday"

Is it International Inappropriate Bike Choice Day or something? Road bikes for stunts, Boris bikes for LEJOG - what next? Using a unicycle to transport a sofa? Climbing the Angliru on a track bike? Riding a crabon bike in a match of cycle polo? Using a Raleigh Chopper for... any purpose whatsoever?

If I can get a credible quote that says he did that on one set of Hope Hoops I am going out and buying 2 Pairs right now.

Fantastic!
What wheels are those? I need some.

That one's a couple of years old - looks like he's honed his road bike skills considerably since then.
