Aldi gear

I bought the Bikemate Work-Stand this morning and am very impressed with the build quality, regardless of the fact it only cost £30. First time in an Aldi store too. Had no idea they don't accept Credit Cards!

That's news to me, I always use my debit card but didn't realise they dont accept credit cards!

 

[BigonaBianchi]

I paid on a visa debit...never knew about.no.credit cards there..

 

[Duckehhh]

Lidls the same. No credit cards

They might not take credit cards but at least they give cash back these days, there was a time they didn't.

I picked up a workstand from the Cambridge branch this morning. I got there early and stood behind a pillar at the door as it was in the shade. All as I can say is it is a good job I'm a nice man, if I wasn't I'd have battered the 3 people who pushed through the door before me......
Workstand seems good for the money.

Hopefully that was not me as I was there at the same time - loud Hawaiian Shirt?

Tool kit for the hell of it and a stand, the stand looks well solid for my fettling so that's what I'm going try the week.

I was at a music festival this weekend. but one of my buddies kindly picked up the workstand for me.

Not you, a couple of old dears shot through the out door (illegal) and some ignoramus in front of me. I did see the shirt though. I was thinking of giving you a clip round the ear for wearing that little number......

Got the workstand from Nottingham. Three left when I got there around midday.

I have been using it this PM. It's very well built. Very easy to set up and very handy.

My only problem was I walked back 4.4 miles with it. Heavy after a while.

I picked up a pair of size 8 SPD shoes from ALDI a few days ago.. £19.99 reduced to £9.99!
They'll do as a back up paid to keep in the boot of the car

I have noticed one possible flaw well two, though one wont effect bikes with cables routed in the tube. One it traps the rear brake, and two the material the grip is made of is a heavy duty plastic, this may lead to some problems. Sorry if its put a downer on it.

Got one of these today and the rubber washers on the rear brake cable allow it to run free when held in the clamp

Are you talking about the workstand?

Can't you grip the bike by the seat post? That's what I do to avoid clamping my brake and gear cables.

Never thought of that, though the balance might not be perfect.
