Wheel deals: big savings on Zipp, Campagnolo, Vision, Fulcrum, HED and more
We've scoured the January sales and found some fantastic bargains on wheels from the online retailers


Lockdown will lift sooner or later and the good weather's only just round the corner (let's find the positives). So now is the time for a wheel upgrade, especially considering some of the deals around at the moment. Post-Christmas and towards the end of the January sales there are still loads of good discounts on wheels – in fact, some have been reduced even more.
A wheel upgrade makes a significant difference to your bike's ride: whether you're looking to save weight, improve its aerodynamics or equip it with something a bit tougher so you can head off the beaten track, the wheels are the place to start.
