anyone know when the next aldi bike gear sale is?

[united4ever]

After a few clothing items and think aldi stuff is ok for the price. Sone cycling tights in there for £4 tonight but only small size.....no other cycling gear at all though.

Word on the street is that they will be selling cycling gear online as well as in the shops. I assume if online then it will be all the time not just Spring and Autumn etc

There is still a bit of stock from the last cycling offer dotted around their stores - I got a softshell wind / water resistant jacket from the branch in the Arndale in Manchester earlier this week for £7 (was £17).

Aldi seemed to do a couple of cycling pomotions quite close together last year (and at the same time as Lidl) and appeared to have a lot of stock left as a result.

I'm still kicking myself for not buying one of their winter jackets the other month. All those i know who bought one rate them. Even the "cycling gear snobs" have been seen out in them!

I'm one of those! I wouldn't have bought it myself far too snobby, was given it as a gift, gave it a chance and really rate it!

Appears Aldi are now selling online.

Cycling is limited to a few drink tabs at present.

Wow are you lucky in the UK. Wish the Aldi over here put out some of these items that you have. They did have some cycling tools and lights along with other exercise products from Crane; yet, nothing like you describe. Good for you.

At Aldi over here with non food products if you don't get it when you see it, it's likely not coming back.

No idea on Aldi, but Lidl are having another cycling event from Monday 21st.

Details on pages 32-35 of the leaflet.

I had my eye on this http://www.prendas.co.uk/prendas-ciclismo-winter-jacket-gore-windstopper-fuga-by-santini.html but i can't afford to use £125 of my cycling budget on a jacket i haven't seen in the flesh. I'm glad i didn't buy it. A bloke turned up on the club run wearing one. Nice fitting but not much different from the Aldi special, apart from about 108 quid.

Was in town today and managed to get a Crane long sleeved Jacket for £4.99 from aldi. Went over to sports direct and got some muddy fox cycling tights for 9.99 and a short sleeved muddy fox shirt for 5.99. I know this is budget end here but where where do muddy fox, aldi, lidl sit respectively in terms of quality? Can't justify paying much more on cycling gear.

Crane is the best of the budget options. I've not used their shorts though.

Dunno about Aldi but it seems as though Lidl are going start selling their bike gear:

Crane (Aldi) seems the best of those brands overall, although I've worn my Lidl winter bib tights a lot over the last few months
Muddy Fox can be very variable - I've got a couple of pairs of their cycling shorts which are fine for what they cost, but I also bought a pair that are truly terrible.

If you're on a budget keep an eye out for mail order sales - Planet X always seem to have some offers on and their kit is generally good stuff, Decathlon's B-Twin range is also very good value for money in my experience, particularly the "500" range and above, and they have great customer service.

Yes, it's worth putting yourself on their emailing list.

I have some crane gloves which I got from Aldi's last year. They are comfy but my hands sweat a lot in them even when it's really cold so for that reason I never wear them unless my others are in the wash or something.

My point is, generally, branded cycle clothing is just better in every way, comfort, fit etc. I bought some muddy fox shorts when I started cycling and they served a purpose but now I have some proper ones, I find myself never wearing them.

Personally I'd rather have half the amount of garments but have the ones I do have of a good quality. By this I don't mean Assos and Rapha, just good middle of the road value clothing.
