Hello everyone,
I am looking to purchase a new hybrid bike for my daily commute through Halfords C2W scheme.
Must-haves:
Flat bar
Disc brakes
Halfords/Cycling /tredz stock
Resilient/low-maintenance drivetrain
I had Carrera Subway One before (stolen) and Voodoo Marasa now. I am happy with Marasa in general, but I had to replace the chain and the cassette after 7 months and now I am getting some shifting issues again.
Willing to top up the £500 a little bit, but definitely won't go higher than £600
My current candidates are :
Voodoo Agwe - a step up from Marasa and Deore mech. But concerned about quality after the issues with Marasa and not sure value for money is good
Boardman MTX 8.8 - seems like great value for money but I know I don't need suspension forks. Also, seems like there are no mounts at all?
My commute is 15 miles round trip, London streets, but a lot of potholes and sometimes mounting the curbs. I am really looking for resilience rather than comfort.
Any expert advice is greatly appreciated.
