  thanks for your reply - any recommendations? I was considering Schwalbe Durano - a balance of weight and puncture resistance/durability
  My days carrying a pump and patches to work are long gone.

  Also what's your take on tubeless? I hear some are pretty accessible these days; but you need the right rims.

  hi pizzarat, thanks for your reply
  I'm looking to cut some weight so probably the same wouldn't help?

  What difference does the spacing make? #wheelignorance

  Hello. I have come to slightly resent the sluggishness of my commuter - Genesis Day One SS (2012) - but can't afford a shiny new bike with gears.

  I wondered if a wheel upgrade <£200 would be worth it.

  Had recommended so far:
  miche Xpress Track Wheelset
  Halo Aerorage

  But I have no benchmark. Most grateful for any insight. Am I clutching at straws or can I breath new life into my old steed?
