ALDI Specials - Thursday 27th September

[albion]

The Aldi cassette tool is likely described as a freewheel tool which if you think about it, it is. That seems to be how it is was described in my 34 piece set. I did not see the small pedal wrench which is puny compared to the one on the £25 Aldi 34 piece set.

Obviously with the cheaper set you have to use the 2 cone wrenches together for the pedals.
Not as good as the massive one with the 34 piece set.

They are decent buys.

I bought mine a year or so ago and im 32" and im a medium so i would recommend a Large for you

From experience, it honestly depends on your leg size. An Aldi M was a bit tight for me in the past (although I'm about a 32 waist now so a M would be ok), so I go large. My mother's partner is bigger than me but has sparrow like legs, so fits in a L too.

Cheers chaps, looks like the sizing is way out then

Is this for the winter trousers?
Have put them on my list as a possible, probably go for a large pair, are they any good?

actually, no. This is from my experience of their cycle shorts and their running longs. You'd hope that the cycle longs should be the same proportions as the rest of their stuff.

I'll not bother with the Fire Blanket...

They keep me warm anyway, had them about a year now and still going strong

Cheers, do you wear them as your only layer or with something else?
At the minute I wear some padded undershorts (DHB) with longs over the top.

They have padding so you won't need anything else. However....

You're commuting in them so likely you'll either need 5 pairs, or wear something underneath so you can use them a few days consecutively.

It's the reason I have stayed away from cycling longs, and use running longs over the top of cycling shorts.

That's what I was thinking too, might get a pair anyway to wear on our winter rides out

The spoke reflectors are a bargain and work brilliantly, one of the best reflectives you can have on a bike.

Yes, they're very good.

I've also attached a few along the exposed brake/gear cables that run along the top tube. They help protect the paint as well as adding another bit of reflectivitynessness...

I just wear them on there own as they have quite a bit of fleece in them so pretty warm

I think I'll get the ultra bright shirt and one of the others. Anybody interested in the ultra bright cycling shirt?

Will check the shoes out too

Might come in handy, you never know...

Great minds think alike!

Stop off at a newsagents on your way there and get Thursday's The Mirror. There is a £5 off a £35 spend voucher in there. So another £4.55 saving to be made.
