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

So have I.

I've got my eyes on the Haribo

I thought these were going to be Nitto rip offs. Or something.

I've just bought a pair of the winter riding trousers, and a light set just as some additional flashers as the days are getting shorter. I have to say that the trousers seem superb value, at only 13 quid, they are comfortable, and if they do what they say on the tin, ideal for my 6 mile commute. The lights ain't the best quality, but at 4 quid worth a punt.

Don't bother with the lights- the brackets are cheap, brittle, poor quality plastic, and didn't stand up to the rigours of a 6 mile commute! The lights themselves are now velcro'd to my helmet!

aldis summer special buys coming out from thurs 6th may

Picked up the soft shell from Bexlyheath yesterday, looks ok, will see how it wears. I'm a size L though, just shy of 6' 2" but thin so anyone who is not thin like me will struggle, size M was ridiculously stitch bustlingly tight.

Medium had long enough sleeves?

Sleeve length was ok, but very tight on fore arms with one layer underneath and and even pretty tight with bare arms / t-shirt only. Also a little tight across shoulders for my liking, I'm not sure if it was the sleeves of the shoulders but I herd some straining as I struggled the M on. Some of which is personal preference and if you envisage ever having any layer(s) underneath. I do like my cycling tops to be close fitting but not tight tight.

Uh oh

well done for posting a link up for all to see...

your lock should not be able to be harmed by those or you should get one that stands up to this.

New jersey, new shorts, new cycle computer = £19. Thankyou Aldi. The stuff isn't half bad either.

My brother also came along, and walked away with one of the jackets for £15. A women's jacket. Ha.

It was tongue in cheek - I mean, I'm sure bike thieves would never think of buying a set of bolt cutters would they? They'd have to come on here and find a link I helpfully provided...

My ma just sent me a text to say she was in Aldi (not sure how far South this budget supermarket chain extends?) and they had various cycling bits n pieces on sale.

Aldi Sale Started 16th Sept

I asked her to pick up some of the 'cycling trousers' which are well padded in the gusset region/arse (£13) and a pair of the gloves (£5). The trousers are ace for the money and so are the gloves.

Trousers are like these

The cycling shoes dont look bad for 20 notes as well.

Try typing Aldi in to the search up there^.

Hippy!

The shoes are £20 now? Crikey- only £15 a year or 2 ago.

The shoes have improved. They now have ratchet buckles instead of just velcro.

Bike stand! Bike stand! Bike stand!

love this thread title!!

I thought the same, although I did have to read it twice!

Lidl has bike work stands soon. £29.99

Really?

I have some from about 3 years ago with velcro. But I noticed last years ones looked much better and had ratchets.

Have stuff back in, picked up a load of cheapness on monday. Seems very good quality for the money.

Lidl have got copies of SKINS compression base layers in at the moment.
Shorts, Socks, short sleve base, and sleeveless base. (£7.99, £4.99, £9.99, £8.99)

Not as good as skins, but pretty damn impressive for the money. I especially like the socks.

Picked up a track pump - Doesn't look that bad for £5 - Metal body + shaft, pressure gauge, dual head etc. Time will tell I spose...

Had one of those. During mid pump the cheap plastic feet sheared away from the pump.

...but apart from that it wasn't too bad :D
