Getting old but not past it
Yes, bikes are still up and very easy to use, just pull the string and the whole bike goes up.

I bought Lidl Ortlieb lookalike panniers in 2007. They worked very well in wet mid Wales and only now need replacing. I can't find out from either Lidl or Aldi wheter and when they will have any similar in store in the near future. They cost £9 each if my memory serves against Ortlieb's £35! Well worth the hunt.
Anyone have any leads for similar? They are wearing a bit thin... Cheers,

I'm not sure that's such a good deal to be honest mountainbiker.
I'm all for saving cash and not being swayed by marketing "aspirational" b*** but I think some bike things are worth paying for. I bought a pair of super-posh Ortleibs for £100 (maybe more) late last millenium and they still look good as new. They've been used for loads of shopping including tins. Probably paid for themselves several times over as I don't drive and they allowed me to pedal to more economic shops (including Lidl!) to do a fair bit of shopping. And no bus fares. They may outlive me (must put them in any will I get round to)

Your not wrong about the shorts been a bit third leg encouraging although I got mine to go under some MTB style baggies I have, tried them today under a pair of normal leggings and they are fine.

Had a pair of the shoes a few years back and they were fine for 18 months. Have never seen them in the lidl sales since. Picked up a couple of the jerseys.

Just been to Lidl and they have a second week of offers on cycling gear. I thought the poster said 1st April but their website says 3rd. Perhaps I missread it:

No idea about the quality of products myself but might be handy for someone.

Thanks for that.
That bikestand looks nice.
I know some folk used to rate the Lidl workstand - is that the one they would have been talking about or has the design changed?

It looks identical to the LiDL I bought a couple of years ago, which works fine.

I have checked the link and it seems to work fine.

Glad to hear as I could do with stand as it saves on the knees and back pain. Currently trying to fix a broken chain at the minute and the stand would be handy.

Yip the clamp is rotable (bought one a few years ago and its a good sturdy and adjustable stand) but tbh I prefer balancing my carbon frame by the top tub and just loosely closing the clamp.
too much of a rush at work posting and heading out the door at same time
