So i've got a b-twin 520 red/black, which Ive had for nearly 7months. Im thinking of upgrading the wheels, and don't know much about them, only know its the main part youd think to upgrade.

https://www.decathlon.co.uk/aksium-race-road-wheel-set-id_8331679.html Look pretty good judging reviews.

Also my current bike has B'TWIN SPORT wheels, 32 spokes.
Aero 32 hub. Quick-release front and rear. Is that worth anything, to sell?

Any feedback will help, or ugprades to consider for my bike, i cycle 200-400 miles a month!

If you're looking at tires in the £24 each mark, I'd recommend looking for some GP4000's as they're fantastic and have gotten me through the winter + more and have only had 1 puncture thus far (pot hole however) so am very happy with them.

However that does have an impact on budget, especially when a wheelset is only £15 more. :p
