Apart from the Garmin, it all seems overpriced from what Decathlon offer day in, day out? Have I missed something. In the clothing range, anyway.

The LED lights look like what you can find in Poundworld etc for less than half the Aldi price

If you mean these ones then they appear to be direct copies of the Moon Comet.

Edited to add: Just seen the other ones - they do look pound shop quality don't they.

The prices are creeping upwards. However Aldi has a lot more branches than Decathlon! - my closest is over 100 miles round trip. Might give the lobster gloves a try though.

You're right about the clothing - there doesn't seem to be anything you couldn't get week in, week out at Decathlon (or Planet X for that matter).

Mind you, that that double bike rack looks interesting...

 

[broady]

Brought the double rack last year and love it. May have to get another one and maybe 2 if I can fit them in the garage! !

How many Garmins wille each store have? It wil probably be used as a loss leader to get people in store as

Not as bright however - front is 50 lumens whereas the Moon goes upto 110 and the back is 25 whereas the Moon is 30.

 

[Postmanhat]

Thanks for this. Day off tomorrow so might join the scrum for the Garmin at 8am. Must remember not to put any deodorant on

 

[broady]

What's with the deodorant? I'm also off work tomorrow and planning a journey down on the bike. Do I put in a quick 30 miles in before I get there at? Will that give me the edge to get one?

 

[Tom B]

My local aldi had two left which were sold before 8am with some guilty looking staff telling people.

Don't bother folks.

 

[Arjimlad]

Got one of the £9 usb rear lights as it will mount vertically or horizontally and I need a second rear light for the commuting bike, which has limited seatpost space.

It seems solid and has a good few different steady and flashing modes.
