Lidl - heads up

[Piemaster]

Lidl have their cycling stuff in from 23/07 according to the poster outside this afternoon (not on website yet)

Jerseys, panniers, saddlebag & tools, usual stuff. Plus a saddlebag that converts into a rucksack?!

Anyone have any experience of their panniers? Not planning on regular use but DS will need some for when we go to the East Coast CC camp.

I bought two of the roll-up top panniers from Lidl, and they are great. SLightly heavier casue of the material, but very waterproof, and the roll-up means you can carry quite large stuff in them as well. If it's the same kind, highly recommended.

They are a bit like this, only slightly clunkier.

Dad picked up the flier the other day with products details on it. Anyone want me to scan it in for them?

 

[Riverman]

That would be awesome although I guess it's abit lazy of the rest of us.

How much were those panniers btw?

it'll only take 2 secs, will do it now.

 

[Piemaster]

£15 iirc. Don't know if they are a roll top type though, or any sort of size for them.

 

[Ben M]

I'm gonna take a look at the gloves, socks, and the lights.

At £3 the lights would be pretty useful for a backup, maybe not the front, but the rear definitely.

Some glasses are pictured in the gloves pic, but it doesn't mention them anywhere, which is a shame, as I currently ride (when I can be bothered in putting contacts in) in Oakleys, which are rather expensive.

Thanks Ben. The cycling trousers are just what I need.

 

[Riverman]

Cheers Ben!

those panniers do look abit cheap.

 

[dodgy]

Socks are ok, the rest of it looks gash.

I think Aldi does better trousers and gloves.

Lidl do good pedals some times but I haven't seen any for a long time.

The shoes are pretty good for the price. Better when they were £9.99, mind.
And I'm still using two of the jerseys 5 years later.

Thanks for the heads-up and the flyer scans chaps! I'm just getting back into cycling so this is just what I need.

Has anyone got any views as to whether the lights set and pump are likely to be any good for light (no pun intended) usage? (e.g. anyone bought these before in previous offers?)

Ben M - the glasses look awfully like Ladgecom ones. £15 or so on eBay I think.
