The only bit of that that I’d have thought was worth spending the money on would be the Clickster. It will work/feel a bit nicer than a non branded basic freewheel and will sound better too.
That said, £50 isn’t far off a 2nd hand White Industries if you can take some time to wait for one to come up on here or eBay.
Miche wheels are generally underwhelming. We have some of those X-press ones and some of the Pistards at work, the Pistards are terrible for the spokes holes causing pictures because the drillings are really wide and rim tape struggles to cover them. I don’t think the X-press suffer from this but the hubs are a bit rubbish and the rims are heavy and narrow by modern standards.
Miche bb are now jis taper so are in direct competition with Shimano units which are both cheaper and better quality.
£58 for a very run of the mill chainring is a lot. I know it’s on cycle scheme but you’d likely get a much nicer ring on here for less money. Again miche quality isn’t great so it’s unlikely to be very round, you’d be much better with a lightly used DA or Sugino.
And £50 seems steep for a very ‘meh’ Specialized stem…is that in there just as an upgrade or to change the fit?
Your basket there is roughly £330, Google says cycle scheme could save 26-29%, so £330-29%=£234. Spending that on here would get you some much nicer components.

Hi guys! Just got a Fuji Declaration 2022 and I forgot cycleschemes existed, so I'm looking to get some components on the scheme and upgrade it. I've already made a change and switched the ThickSlicks it came with to Gravelking SKs, much more comfy on London roads and kinda feels a bit faster too, weirdly enough.
My previous bike is an old Peugeot frame with some random parts put together, but it came out pretty light - as light as making me feel the 1-2kg difference or whatever it is.
Would this list be worth it or would most of them be just throwing money away?
Thanks and I hope I asked the question in the right place!
