Where to, boss? ALDI, and step on it! Cheap Aldi Cycling Stuff

I nearly bought a frame bag but the queue was full of panicky panic poo buyers
Edit: went back for it. Lots of everything still there in Lewisham Lidl.

I got the frame and bar bag (lots in York). Seem decent.

Looks a lot like the same stuff you find on aliexpress, but with the added bonus you don't have to wait two weeks and get some service after sales..

Plenty in stock in Lidl in Mile End. No paper roll however

The cheapo rechargeable lights have that funny beam pattern where they don't blind people riding towards you. Not bad for a tenner.

I got a pair of £10 Pannier bags from Lidl Walthamstow this morning. Still a few left.

Any frame or handlebar bags in Walthamstow?

Loads of everything in the Camberwell Lidl this morning. Picked up a frame bag, quality looks excellent for the price!

Don't bother with the track pump, head fell apart after one use. Frame bag looks decent in the flesh.

Them boxy ones like paramedics use? Handle on the top like a large briefcase?

What was the rest of the construction like? I was planning on taking the head off anyway and securing a new head for my disc wheel anyway

Rest was ok - not as solid as one I bought from them a few years ago but it worked fine. Metal foot with 4 screws holding it in place, plastic handle that had slight flex, got up to 100psi pretty quickly. Shame about the head.

Got one now, thanks. The head is confusing; unscrewed the end to swap from schraeder to presta, all the bits fell out and now I can't figure out how to put it back together - hah!

Yes there are/we’re about 5 of each

Shorts with removable liners coming soon.

Almost Aldi. Work stands at Lidl...

The Aldi competitor is in-store from tomorrow https://www.aldi.co.uk/bikemate-bike-assembly-stand/p/090155007282600

Are these in store also? The ones I picked up last time were pretty handy for cycling to work in.

Yeah, I've got a slightly upgraded version of those (a better method for rotating the bike clockwise/counter-clockwise, but that seems to be about it) and it's super useful. Would recommend.

Web site seems to suggest they will be in store from tomorrow

Awesome I'll be sure to go check them out.

Why have they stopped doing merino base layers. Mine have massive holes in the elbows now. They were amazing value.
Also reminded of a Scottish ex of mine who used to call it Yaldi. Not too sure why I bring that up but I agreed with her.

Indeed, i though it was Sunday. Gonna be there 8am.

Are these any good? They look like the Lezyne(?) ones.
