Is it snobby to snub Aldi

[Gravity Aided]

It works pretty good in a Trangia.

You get what you pay for in this world. Where it really counts i.e comfort of padded shorts I would not skimp to much, I will happily pay £40-£70 for a really good set. Discomfort in the saddle is not going to be enjoyable. However for cheap tops for summer etc a £3 crane short sleeved job has done me proud as have a £4 pair of gloves/mitts. Perfectly fine anything I ride in.

Depends what you want.

I've got a work stand for the bike that was good value and the socks seem consistently good, but some of the other stuff has proved to be bobbins, especially of late.
The real trick is spotting the rubbish stuff before you buy it...

You make it sound as if you are looking for tut to buy.

I might pop in for some leg warmers, the ones i use for commuting were an ebay buy and they are to big so i end up looking like nora batty

Some things there are nice. I bought the bigger tool kit for $20 American, and haven't had much to complain about, and I use the tools often.

A couple of years ago, spurred on by regulars here giving them a plug, I went to Aldi during their cycling event and found a few bits left in a dump bin. There was nothing I needed or wanted and certainly no amazing bargains. I've never made the effort since, more out of laziness than snobiness.
