Anyone know what Plug this is and can you recommend a wheel upgrade?

HI all,

First time posting and hoping you can help. I bought this Charge Plug a couple of years ago. Have been commuting on it a couple of times a week and riding locally (Surbiton, Surrey). I own four bikes and this is by far my favourite! It cost me £185 on eBay and by the look of it, it hadn't been ridden much (excuse the grub on it now - it rained in London yesterday).

Does anyone know what year this Plug was released? It all looks to be standard.

I'm on the hunt for a wheel upgrade. Can anyone recommend a decent set? Will be commuting.
Also, although I ride a 54 on my other bikes, this 54 seems to be a little large and I'm stretching more than I'd like. Can anyone recommend a shorter stem?

Cheers all. Any advice welcome.

Matt

It’s a 2014 by the looks.

The length and angle are the most important things in a stem. I would just keep an eye out in the classified for something that fits the bill, if it’s just for commuting and you don’t have any weight saving or style goals.

Same goes for wheels. Decent Single speed/fixed wheels come up for sale pretty often on here and you’ll be able to get something much better for the same price as a new set. I think the rear spacing was still 120mm on these models so nothing out of the ordinary.

Thanks so much @oheyitsdrew! Appreciate you explaining.

I'm assuming I could measure the drop-outs (centre to centre) to affirm the spacing?
