I had no intention of changing anything on this bike until I've ridden it a bit more, but have just been given £400 worth of vouchers as a bonus from work. From my roadie days wheels were always the best upgrade to make, so willing to blow the lot on a decent set of wheels, and maybe add a bit to it if it made a difference.

Any recommendations ? I do pretty tame XC stuff but I'm heavy (15 stone). Is it worth going tubeless ?

    For about £300 you can get Stans Crest rims on Hope hubs. Tubeless ready, about 1.6kg for the set and the rims come in white if you can find the, which would look awesome on your Boardman. then spend the rest on the tubeless kit and some nice folding tyres.
    And now you know, and knowing is half the battle
