Lidl cheap cycling stuff

is that genny from aldi, how much?

i ask becuase bought the same one from a garden place for £80. ended up ragging the fuck out of it running a 3k system. it ran noisy as fuck at a really high RPM, and was never quite the same after a night on said system.

with that said i would use one again, just with not as much draw. it was really light compared to other gens ive used and the fuel economy was good.

apparently the lobsters from lidl are OK, too

Excellent parmesan. And also Stollen.

apparently the lobsters are £4.99! how can that be?

It'll be a loss leader - to get middle classengers downgrading from Waitrose into the shop.

maybe they are genetically modified shrimps...

there is a difference between european and north american lobsters (both in size and quality of meat)- I am sure they have more technical names than that but can't be bothered to google it - one of you pedants can get on the case

the cheap ones are from north america/canada - pre cooked and frozen

Brixton is now confused, as the Acre Lane Aldi is selling waxed Barbour knock offs for £16, there's lots of people wandering around looking like bizarre versions of David Cameron.

and I thought they only did lidl sizes..

The stuff I've bought has been good and functional- the under the saddle bags for tubes etc are good value, they're a bit on the large size but on an MTB you need large to get a couple of tubes in there- and room for a Jetflate too.

Just ordered some of the Spanish honey for £1.99. One fifth the cost of Assos Chamois Cream and your crack smells sweet.

You may take (other people's) lives! But, you'll never take my Waitrose!

Actually Parker does Assos crack lube a bit cheaper than that... and my sphincter smells sweet already.

Lidl are getting in some more bike stuff.

yeah I got the email too. Lidil alerts!

I want me a bike hoist

Aldi have some great stuff, good fit and well made - my shorts and tops are still going after 3 years.

Going to get the lights for the DD from Lidl though.

The same propstand they are selling for £2 is £8 from SJS - I have it, it's decent enough, but not for full panniers.
Still got one of those hoists I've been meaning to fit from last time...

compost looks good too

Agreed, Aldi clothes are far superior. Aldi usually get bike stuff in a couple of weeks after Lidl.

lidl currently has some digital calipers for around £7, has anyone tried them, are they any good?

I got some cheapo digital calipers off eBay for around £8 delivered. They're surprisingly well made and very accurate as far as I can tell.

They look like these ones:
