General Discussion / New Wheels or New Bike?
« on: November 09, 2022, 08:59:33 AM »
Hi,
I have a Boardman SLR 8.9 C with rim brakes and Shimano 105.
Cycle to work scheme with a limit of £2500 is available - need to submit my application by the end of the week.
Can i have some suggestions please with regards to my options:
1. Upgrade wheels - Please suggest which ones as most look the same with huge difference in price. I have done a bit of research: A. Hunt wheels are not available through the C2W scheme. B. Ride Bike Wales have suggested Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3 TLR with Pirelli P Zero race TLR 26-622.
2. Upgrade bike - Suggestions please.
3. Do nothing - It’s about the rider more that the kit. Maybe consider another option when I get more fitter🙂.
Thanks.
