New Wheels vs New Bike
Bones!!
Posts: 83
Subject pretty much says it all, but to explain, I'm torn between the idea of a new wheelset for my hardtail which i can whack a set of slicks on (more likely knobblies on new 1's and slicks on old wheels lol) or save up/raid the savings and get a new bike prob XC Full Sus, and put hardtail on slicks for commuting/road based fitness training, don't want to go down the specific road bike route, before anyone suggests that. 
So what would you guys and girls do in my position?

There's no such thing as a stupid question, unless you already know the answer!

Just changing tyres over is the cheapest solution! Sounds to me you just want us to tell you to get a new bike ;-)
What budget? Could put a rigid fork and slicks on the HT, and get a new FS. I know that is what you want to do really hehe0 -
Nah, am to god damn lazy to just change tyres over hence the whole new wheels train of thought.
I'll probably go down the 2nd bike route eventually anyway, just can't decide whether 2nd set of wheels might be a waste of money when i do eventually get one
budget when i go for new bike will prob be around the £1500 mark maybe £2000.There's no such thing as a stupid question, unless you already know the answer!0 -
What bike is it?0

started life as Giant xtc4.5. pretty much only frame that's left original now tho. upgraded or wrecked and replaced everything else. There's no such thing as a stupid question, unless you already know the answer!0

Its not a bad frame, and would make an ideal commuter!0

it already does make a good commuter, but it will be much easier with slicks lol, There's no such thing as a stupid question, unless you already know the answer!0
