Using Cyclescheme to buy wheels?

luv2ride

I've been looking at upgrading my stock wheels with carbon aero jobbies for a while. Someone has mentioned you can get accessories, including wheels, on Cyclesheme which my employer offers. They also deal with the online retailer who have the wheels I'd be interested in. This approach woukd seem to represent a relatively cheap way of acquiring them, but am slightly put off by not owning then outright for a while, or the fact you'd have to keep making the salary sacrifice even if they got nicked/written off. Also, I'm not sure how warranty issues would be sorted, given you wouldn't be the owner.

Anyone else gone down this route? Any pitfalls? Cheers...

Bought an Etap Groupset via Evans RTW scheme no worries plus got 10% BC discount and the £60 free accessories.

I don't think the ownership part of it works the same as bike purchases. Worth checking.

No different on Evans RTW

The online retailer I was thinking of using say they apply a 10% admin fee on top. Shelling out an extra £100 takes a bit of a shine off it for me. I'll also check in with Cyclescheme about the ownership of accessories vs bikes...

That’s why the Evans RTW scheme is the best one out there IMO
