For £5 if mine does fail i will just use it as a weapon ! But i can say it works very well pumping my 700x23s up,maybe they have a new supplier for this years batch

Put the Panniers on this afternoon and quite happy with how they look when full. Seem fairly sturdy and should be up to the task for me anyhow. Gez

I've heard of quite a few failures of the track pumps, I don't think you can argue with the clothing for the money though.

Aldi in Rutherglen, Glasgow has plenty left. Got mini pump and its not the best I've ever had but will do the job for £3. Also got a double barrel foot pump for car. Recently had car at sainsburys digital pump which stated my three were at 32 psi but foot pump says only 21ish psi. Not sufe which one to believe but now I think on it the tyres did look a bit down even when supposedly 32psi. Anyway also got a seat bag. Tools are decent enough for a fiver for the bag and tools. If it lasts a year I'll b happy.

Wrote last post with phone.....so please excuse my smartphone's lack of smarts in auto correction. Three = tyres, sufe = sure.

Think the jersey's look ok does anyone know if they have back pockets?

Yes they do, sometimes they have a small zipper pocket also. I have a few and they are good to bulk up your riding wardrobe.

Our local branch is usually quiet. The mitts are long lasting, got a few pairs for summer commutes, and despite being a little worn looking, they do the job.

As much as I think the Aldi stuff is good for the price. I found the mitts didn't last long at all. But then you don't mind them getting grubby on the side of the road when doing repairs. I still seem to buy a set once a year or if there in the bargin bin.

I think the best Aldi items are the socks. I like em'...!

Has anyone bought a track pump from Aldi? Mine is broken and i need a new one - are Aldi's OK ?

I'd say invest in a good one. My friend has had a load of cheap ones and I'm still on the same one I got in a sale with Evans.
