I have the Boardman HYB 8.6 bought from Halfords just before lockdown. Generally satisfied with it overall but I've had a few reliability issues. Within 6 months the bottom bracket had to be replaced (within guarantee), I've had spokes break on the front (3 times) and rear (2 times), and have gone through a chain and rear cassette. I travelled a total of 3000km (2000miles) in 20 months over roads and cycle tracks that are little hilly but not overly demanding. Does this history of problems seem reasonable for such a bike with the Boardman reputation?
