Boardman cx team vs pinnacle dolomite 4

eavesy31

Can I take a poll on this.... need for general commuting.. both priced at £900 one with shimano tiagra group plus hydro brakes and the boardman with SRAM rival hydro discs..

Thanks users

Very happy with the cx team as a do it all bike. Not sure how they do it at the price point tbh

Yeah, big spec on the sram groupset and also I fancy the 1x11 gears for a change from the norm. I think the boardman is favoured.

Have you kept the same tyres on it or gone smaller.. heard they can be a bit draggy on th roads ??

Bought a second pair of wheels (cheap on eBay). Running zafiros for the commute and wtb cross boss tubeless on the other (ghetto tubeless method). Moved the rapid robs to the wife's bike. Didn't have any particular issues with them either on or off road.

Take a look at the Dolan RDX. £950 with 105 hydraulic groupset...

Unless you particularly want to buy instore I'd say that's very hard to beat.

Would you mind asking what wheels you bought as I'm not sure what sizes tyre wise the mavics that come with the bike accept..?

I bought another pair of the same ones that ship with the bike. They are 19mm internal diameter so take tyres upwards of 28mm

Currently running 32mm zafiros , 35mm cross boss, plenty of space for wider. Thinking of fitting 28mm 4seasons when the zafiros up for replacement

No probs, glad you’re enjoying it! I did get them off eBay, took a little while but they do pop up every other week or so.
