Yes I think they could have been a bit tighter on the elasticated leg. Will try them tomorrow and report back.
oh for god's sake I really don't know why people persist in this crap.
What's the point in fighting your way past lardy chavs to rummage through a wire basket for substandard, baggy, unwaterproof clothes with invariably the worst zips in the world that are guaranteed to bust, and should you decide to buy anything you have to basically take the choice of what they've got, rather than what you want - presumably dictated by the golden motto 'beggars can't be choosers'?
Just go to a proper cycling equipment shop, and forget about poundland and the like!
And furthermore, what's the point in posting a thread about it every week/month, when the 'new stock' arrives in the stores? Yes, we know these bargain basement bin eastern european style stores sell stuff that by a very long stretch of the imagination could be masqueraded as 'cycling gear'. Yes, we know that some of you find it amazing that some it only costs eighteen pence. Now end it!

Back on form then - some of it's OK, that's the bit's I buy for commuting as I'd rather knacker a 2.99 pair of pretty good gloves than a Spesh BG pair at £20. Plus I don't normally wear track mits on the road bike at all when the weather is warm, but the likelyhood of getting knocked off commuting is higher.
This stuff is OK for commuting, and helps the beginner get kitted up. It's blooming expensive getting everything - bit of a mix is what you need !

If you are that bothered about it why open the thread ?

bit of a mixed bag is what you get with aldi - it's impossible to go in there for cycling gear and get exactly what you came in for, no more no less. You either get lots more things that will go in the bottom ofthe wardrobe 'cos they "looked good value" and never used but you will cause you to have spent more than you would have if you'd bought something from a proper cycling shop, or you end up thinking 'what made me think there was a possibility they would have one again?'
probably.
But you do. There's nothing WRONG with that, is there?
Why is calling you a duck-path-riding, non-clipless-pedal-using bell-ringer derogatory?
If you think there IS something wrong with any of those things, then maybe it's time to admit it and change your ways. But if not, then there's no problem is there...
