At 1.5 you’ll be looking at 650b and 47c width roughly.
What have you bought for the bike today ?

Superstar Wheels for my Boardman Pro MTB. Don't exactly need new wheels, but these were a crazy bargain and they had my hub size in £68.75 with 75% off.

42c to replace the existing ones, cope with mudguards and the frame dimensions.
LBS came up with a pair at a reasonable price. Bit of tread on them, suggests more wet security. Would have liked wider but these will fit for sure and were available today.
This afternoon taken care of.
Spared me a trip to Halffits

Having got the wrong bottom bracket for my Holdsworth Roi de Velo upgrade (a Dura-Ace 9000) I bought the correct one; a Miche Supertype Evo Max external. Or at least I hope that's the correct one from the several listed but otherwise unavailable

I tried them and TBH wasnt overly impressed, a right swine to get on/off so much so that i once spent a good 10 mins trying to get one off after a flat .I know my rim/tyre combo makes for hard work and thought that a supposedly tough tyre would balance it out but found them no better than zaffiros .
I hope you have better luck

Bought an S-Works Evade helmet for the new track season. I went down on mine last year and I'm not convinced it's 100% safe any more.
I've never had a problem with them myself. But as you say, its rim dependent. Zaffiros wouldn't last 5 minutes on my commute through the mean streets of SE London.

Well the seller cancelled...maybe because I won it cheaply so I ended up buying this instead!

It was only after following that link, and looking around at their other cycling products, that I realised Evans are now part of the House of Fraser group
(as are Sports Direct).

I had a quick go yesterday (no video sorry!)
How is it so hard?! It's like riding a bike on ice! However the kit itself is very well made and folds away nicely. No complaints there, only complaint is how it makes me feel like I've never sat on a saddle before but I'll pick it up sooner than later.

Just had to re-order a different wheelset from Superstar - they had run out of the XC wheels, so I've ordered the wider rim "Downhill" wheelset - i.e. overbuilt with upgraded hubs. Only £18 more. On the cancellation they said this was the only 650b wheelset they had left in my size. This probably means this wheelset becomes the default wheels on my bike, and my originals go as spares due to the hub and rim upgrade.
