So I've got a cycle to work special boardman team carbon road bike and have finally started using it.

As far as upgrades I know the wheels are the first upgrade but haven't got a clue which ones, is it worth upgrading the chainset and cranks ?

Cheers Pablo, tyres make sense and a cheap upgrade, budget for the wheels is around £300-400.

I have recently put new wheels , tyres 25's & some yellow bar tape on my Boardman team carbon & I have to say it feels like a new bike
Was it the yellow bar tape 😀

So new wheels, mavic krysium's and a 105 groupset, took the Bike out for a 20mile jaunt.

Loving the new wheels, much stiffer and power transfer is great on the hills, 105 brakes are nice and powerful.

But there is a problem... The 105 5800 brake hoods are totally different to the Tiagra hoods I had on when I had the bike fit done on the bike, oh well !
