I have the waterproof jacket and wore it all through last winter. I found it a good jacket and the air vent zips on back keep you quite cool. Mine is still going strong but going to get another one to keep for future use.

Has anyone tried the spoke reflectors?

The reflectors are very good, although they're about £1 cheaper at Lidl if you can find them there.

Here's a couple of shots of my bike to show you the effect (I put a couple on the cables running along the top tube too):

Thanks for the pics and info to everyone who replied, the spoke reflectors look like a must have for the Winter!

You're welcome.

Those are the reflectors after a year's commuting and the rears in particualr are filthy to the extent of appearing almost black. They still do a fine job though, as you can see.

The tyres with reflective sidewalls are great too (Chinese copies of the Schwalbe Marathon Plus), also bought from Lidl at £9.99 each including spare tubes.

I bought pretty much everything in this sale last year. Spent about £170 over a couple of trips! Served me well for my first cycling year.
Much the position I was in but have already stocked up at Sports Direct and Lidl
Need to investigate though will be there

Is that your house in the background? and if it is why are you shopping at Aldi? But seriously, the spoke reflectors look great and I will get some too.

Yup I don't need anything this year, I was going to look at the Merino tops as that was the only thing I didnt get last year. A little put off by the blended comments above though, I might look at Planet X equivalent instead.

I also bought loads in the following Aldi and Lidl summers events lol

Gah. Got a meeting first thing so won't be able to do a dawn raid. Only need socks and base layers though !

Anyone got an opinion on the tools? I could do with some basic tools and the Aldi kit at 20 quid (I think) looks ok.
I bought one last year, the cone spanners were useless soft metal which went in the bin after first attempt at using them (replaced with quality Park tools).
