Another Aldi offer from 1 May

[kiwifruit]

Aldi is having another cycle gear offer, mostly roadie gear. Seen some co2 inflator pump and cartridges for £4.99. Bargin

Hopefully they'll have some more energy gels, and hydration tablets this time.

Having really only got into cycling 6 months ago I could do with a summer wardrobe to go with all the winter stuff I bought in the last event ;-)

Aldi gear:

Mitts, fell apart in a month.

Gloves, the palm on one disintegrated fairly quickly.

Shoes, one of the metal loops through which the Velcro strap passes broke after about ten rides.

You get what you pay for.

It's not all bad. I've used the mitts for commuting, and mine were fine - last a good year of daily commutes.

Some stuff is crap but some is also quite good value for money. Windproof jacket reduced to £10. Its taken a lot of hammer off road and still looks and performs well.

I wouldn't have taken the shoes, even if paid as they didn't look up to much.

Never tried CO2 but am tempted to get one of those at that price.

The socks are great, I wear mine all the time, got loads of 'em.

Not much else there I fancy, but it's good stuff for newbies or those on a tight budget.

Large tool kit has been quite good as well, has almost everything you need, and does seem a quality job all around. Not bad for $20 US. Bikemate pump got me out of trouble just yesterday, very happy with those 2 items, but I stay away from the giant songy marshmallow saddles and the other things that look a tad dodgy.

I got shorts, top (kit) as a gift
Got to tell you folks it's great, padding /style /colour/ and most important easily get a couple of years out of it.
Ps never buy cheap shoes.

 

[glenn forger]

My shoes fell apart after 2 months, the wossname fell out of the sole.

Are they actually any good?

I know the Lidl ones have a bit of a reputation. Some of the stuff cost not much more on Amazon and you get the benefit of the reviews and ratings from people who have bought them.

Aldi cycling jerseys and socks have been serving me well for years now. I also have various Aldi running tops and shirts which have also proved good quality and long lasting. Comparable to Decathlon own brand stuff at similar price range.

I'm not too surprised the clothes aren't too bad. I mean, what could go wrong?

It's the more mechanical components and tools that I would be wary of.
