Not exactly joined up thinking...

Maybe the gym sells stuff that's even pricier ?

40% off a good few items at Cycology clothing.

I totally agree with what Ian said. Also people should stop putting Aldi stuff up in bargains, it’s cheap stuff that’s why it’s cheap. Not exactly exposure quality lights at a nice price. I’ll start putting pound shop posts up, look it’s only £1.

Bye.

Not in my nearest Aldi . I recommend the light sets good at £14.99 , definitely buy another set or two if I saw them at £9.99 . ( I live in a town with 3 Aldi branches, so may check the other 2 )

I'm pretty sure that front light is not road-legal (no K~ number) and basically a torch beam, so you still need proper lights for on-road use if you don't want to dazzle oncoming riders and don't want to point the front light at the ground. (The chance of being stopped by police for lit-but-illegal at the moment is almost zero unless involved in a crash.) Better to wait for the next Lidl sale for bargain road lights.

Exactly. Aldi should be banned from the bargain thread with the only exception of work stands.

Has anyone EVER heard mention of illegal lights being mentioned in any case ? I'd really not worry.

Yes, but it was ruled immaterial. As I wrote, the chance of police attention is recently near zero. I'd not use such lights because I don't want to be a daffodil dazzling other riders, and I think it worth warning potential buyers that those lights are that sort of shoot.

Is this still the ‘found a bargain…do tell’ thread? 😡

 

[Milzy]

Only front left. Real bargain.
