Lidl's cycling gear

"Hi mum. Happy Mother's Day! You couldn't do me a favour, could you..?"

The floor pump looks worth a punt for a fiver.

I thought that, used it once and it didn't work again. Something (probably a seal) went on the internals and that was only pumping tyres to a max of 35psi!

I've had 3 Lidl/Aldi track pumps over the years - £15 that would have been far better put towards a JoeBlow Sport - which I use now - chalk and cheese. Save up and buy a JoeBlow

chalk and cheese. Save up and buy a JoeBlow

Exactly what I did.

A soft shell jacket in mint green and gloves.

About the only thing i could do with is a new windproof , im not desperate .

 

[cyberknight]

Sadly, no 'Small' on offer in mens

Thats an issue i have as well , i can get away with mediums but they are a relaxed fit , ok for commuting but "flappy"

+2 then

Haven't tried the floor pumps from Lidl, but yeah, the JoeBlow Sport II is excellent.

Loads and loads of stuff in my local store this morning. I remember in the past when there would be a queue before the store opened - seems those times have passed. More limited range of stuff - no shoes or windproof jacket

Are you thinking of Aldi, cannot recall Lidl having any shoes

There's been no shoes for a few years in Lidl.I had a pair the last time they did them and they were really good. Only got a jersey this time as all the softshells had gone.

Anyone know if that heartrate belt is Ant+ ?

I was wondering that, but looking at the packaging there isn't mention of ANT+. However, As it is Bluetooth, I wondered whether it would pair with my Garmin 510 anyway. Decided not to buy until I could get some clarification on the issue.

I don't think it will. 510 uses bluetooth to talk to the phone only. To the best of my knowledge you need an ant+ hrm

I bought 2 work stands for members of my cycling club who were worried they would miss out, also one of the new soft-shell jackets which i'm really impressed with for £11, with 2 zip pockets. Really light and somewhere between long sleeved jersey and wearing a winter jacket.
Also more socks as I always stock up and another pair of mitts as I find them really comfy even if they do look cheap.

A word on the sizing. I expect to buy xl or xxl in most stuff. My new softshell from Lidl is L and fits perfectly.

.

You mean 1 zipped pocket?

I'll check but I thought there was one on each kidney? Is there only one?
