Boardman Hybrid

Hi all. I have a Boardman Hybrid Team that I have so far done 150 miles on. So far it has been absolutely fine, I'm just wondering how others are getting on with theirs and of any hazards to be cautious of when riding a bike assembled by Halfords?

If you've done 150 miles already then you should have got past all the problems I had long ago.

However, it also handles much more nicely than the road bike at low speeds, as are common when dodging pedestrians in the centre of Cambridge, while not being such a chore to ride on roads as a knobbly-tyred mountain bike. For longer rides out of town, I still use the 'proper' bike.
Only problem when I got it was that there was no grease on the pedals - luckily I was replacing with SPDs but even then they werent easy to get the original pedals off. Watch out for that if you havent checked yours.
I did find a small crack in the bottom of the carbon forks, where the wheel clamps in, but Halfords were great - in about 5 days I had it back with new forks fitted.
Don't worry about the 'hybrid deniers', there are a lot of censored hybrids out there but the Boardman isn't one of them. If you look at the frame and spec it's more like a flat barred road bike with better brakes
