Did anybody get the panniers from Lidl. I called in to one shop and they were all gone.
If you got some, what are they like?
i got some , ( they had stock in bolton in the evening fwiw, though no socks of any decent sizes
)..
cant really compare, but i'd say
1. its two piece, so theres a top bit ( which is like a big briefcase size) and the side bits are 'in one' (so you can't just use one side piece). I dont see how you can use the top piece either, without using the sides because it seems to attach to them..
2. 'waterresistant' or something, but also has a rain cover.
3. seemed pretty straightforward, but i havent been able to check it goes onto my pannier,,, coz my aldi pannier and my mudguards are having a 'confrontation'.
4. both bits have handles and theres a shoulder strap ..
frankly i figured , 15 quid for that,, or 15 quid for one side bag from clas ohlson or god knows from somewhere else.. might as well try it out..
got the toolset ( yet another one) , i'm gunna leave it in the car and sell it to the next cyclist i see walking with a bike ( saw two with punctures tonight
). ( 5 quid, seemed a bargain frankly).
also got two of the sealant things and the wierd tiny pump thing
