Aldi, next week

[cyberknight]

The overshoes are fairly thin and i doubt they will fit over the aldi cycling shoes, i have the Lidl spd shoes that look similar and i had to go XL to get some overshoes to fit as the shoes have a more "trainer" like look with a heel rather than a normal cycling shoe .

I ended up having to patch my aldi overshoes as they got a little tear in them every time i had to put my foot down.

Anyone got one of the bike stands? Might be tempted by one of those.

Me too,but would like to know the quality

+1.
Missed the Lidl ones last time. Does thia one have a bits tray with it?

 

[HLaB]

My Aldi overshoes (labled 6/7) fit over my Lidl shoes (labled 42) just; I don't use them often but I've been delightfully surprised as to how long they have lasted.

 

[Holdsworth]

I like the look of a lot of the clothing and that quirky little travel speaker as well

I may be tempted to get one to listen to a bit of Signal 1 on the way to work and back. It just depends on the volume and sound quality, plus how it sounds over all the traffic of the urban roads I ride.

Thanks for the heads up, Chilly!

Would it be a good idea to buy bike lights from aldi ?

 

[Bobtoo]

These 9 LED torches aren't very good so I wouldn't buy that set- although it would be approximately 1000000 times better than a similarly priced set from Tesco, Asda or Halfords.

The £9 set I got in Lidl was pretty good though, Aldi and Lidl stuff tends to be of more than adequate quality.

Anyone ever bought the arm warmers before? I need some.

 

[Mark Grant]

I've got the arm and leg warmers.

They're fine.

Notice a 120watt halogen floodlight in with the cycling gear on the Aldi page. Does this fit on the front or back of the bike?

And is it compatable to be used as a dynamo? How fast would you have to cycle to power that thing up???

I've got two. They are very good for the money and the steel used is solid and substantial.

The only downside is that the hooks which plug into the support tubes can be prone to popping out when you hang the bike up. You can either put some tape round the plugs to make them a snugger fit, then hammer them back in, or, if less of a bodger than me, drill the tube and plug to take a screw to hold the plug in position.
