Aldi cycle clothes schedule.

[PaulSecteur]

Hi,

Im Really wanting to try clipless pedals and shoes, however my budget is tight.

I have read that lidl did some shoes that take the clips for about £20.

Does aldi have a schedule for when it has its cycling bargains, or are is it just a case of watching the webiste? With summer approaching, they should be doing something soon, shouldnt they?

eBay is your best bet - there are used shoes there of course but you also get some of the business sellers putting new shoes up for auction - expect to pay £20-30 for a reasonable pair. I'd stick to the mainstream makers Carnac,Diadora,Sidi,Specialized etc.

There are two types of pedal spd and spd sl - some shoes take both but others are one system only.

If it's a business seller ask about the fitting for the shoe - some like Shimano have a narrow fitting and you may need to go one size bigger than your normal foot size.

Both Aldi and Lidl send out their special offers by email if you sign up.

aldi's tend to be spring and early autumn, usually about a week after lidl's…

I don't use clipless, but you just cut out the oval in the sole for the fittings.

I think Aldi is on the first week of May but they do the shoes in September I think.

I was in Lidl on Thursday. They still had about 6-7 pairs of cycle shoes that initially went on sale months ago. So worth a try if it's local.

I got my shoes for about £17 and they are still going strong..

As for clothes i went aldi last year and now i am hounding ebay as i find with luck i can pick up stuff for 1/2 the price of aldi.

My first pair of Lidl shoes were ok but the second one was rubbish - the cleat mounting plate was made of cheese. I returned them.

To be honest I think you're better off getting some cheap shoes from a mainstream manufacturer. You should still be able to go clipless for about £50 including pedals if you shop around.
