aldi should have their stuff in next week or 2

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

I got the gloves last year for 15 quid and they are the best waterproof gloves I have ever owned, being that I yet to have wet hands even after a full winters riding.

I also have the tank bag from 3 years ago and its just starting to give up now, after about 40k miles of use.

I did also own a Jaket from there but I found the design on the sleeve sucked and it let in water (took it back for a refund), looking at the design in the news letter I picked up in store they have imporved it now.

The little battery charger is also a great purchase.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

They have put the Waterproof trousers up by £10 :o
I only paid £39.99 last year. I need a new pair cos my others were cut off after my accident. I might look elsewhere :confused:

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

I got an Aldi thermal undersuit a few months back and its great!

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Sounds good, I might get some. 2 things-
1. Any experience of them in an off? How did they perform? If not, do they at least look/feel strong?
2. How thick/insulated are they? Can you still feel heated grips through them?

I still use a back protector from there. Comfy, very cheap and more robust than some more expensive ones I've seen. Mine protected me very well when I skated down the road on my back at 60mph, even with a laptop in my (bog standard, unpadded) rucksack. Their touring maps of the UK are really good too. Just the right size/resolution and mine still look like new after about 30K miles use.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

i might buy the back protector.

Are they comfy or shall i spend a bit more?

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

it saved my life m8, only got to use it about 5 times though. was a bit uncomfotable, but you don't notice it once you're moving

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

cool!

Ill go look in there when the deal starts!

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Hmmm alarm disk lock and intercom looks tempting!!!

Bike will be parked outside my office, so it doesn't need to stop them, just make me aware some buggers trying to nick it...

Intercom would be handy for when i go out with the missis!!!!

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

When I bought a tank bag it was just a £5

I also bought a 'kidney belt' thinking it was a sort of storage pouch thingy like I use on my mountain bike, only to discover it was just a belt covering the kidneys :roll:

Good stuff for the price though

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Cheap intercom's are great. They only work up to about 40mph, so you can only get your ears bitten as you pass through towns and villages, and even then if you want her to shut up you just break the speed limit :D

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

So who's going for the walkie talkie? not much point getting one if I've got no one to talk to :smt102. Let's try & get 20 for the AR08.

Toad you thinking of the small tank bag for £3? :???:

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Thanks for the heads up :)

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Cheers for the heads up Hovis.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

great idea. I've always wanted a set for when me and Im Indoors go on long journeys, mainly because he's too far ahead and he can't bloody take any sort of signalling cause his zorts are toooooooo loud.
Last time we went up to Hull I started getting the damn flashy low fuel light on the M62. Its very hard to get someones attention in the dark, even after overtaking and giving silly hand signals

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Your a sick puppy hovis!

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

me too :)

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Nope, I've got a big one :wink:

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

I did hear once that the B-square stuff they get is the same supplier that Hein Gericke use, but I'm not 100% on that.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Looking at them i would say that is posability, looking at them they have the TUV quality mark on them, indicating they are either made or come from Germany. Hy HJC has the TUV on it as well, so if they are meeting the same standards they cant be that bad. probably better than all these cheap chinese makes.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Makes entertaining reading this......;)

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

I might look at a pair of their textile trousers. For ?50 if theyre any good, theyre a steal.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

I got the trousers last year, well worth the money. I've taken the lining out and use them as overtrousers for commuting..

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

anyone try'd the bike to bike intercoms? me and cuz was thinking of getting some.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

I receive emails from Aldi advising about their special sales. I've yet to visit one of their stores and see any items left!

Are Lidl any better?

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

stuff i've had seems good kit.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

as I remember Aldi is German (my gran is german) and she always used to say you'd only get quality stuff from them, no cheap muck(only in price)
Isn't Lidl scandenavian? or is it french? either way, can't see quality being all that bad

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

3 year warranties on them intercoms.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Ralph said they were only good for up to 40MPH, they must be better than that, mind you at that price, its worth a go,
I really would like to hear my other half in my ear, i'm not telepathic....and I can't afford a spensive setup..

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

i think i gonna try em.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Im gonna have to go on my lunch hour to see if I can get the trousers.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Was looking at the helmets today and they dont have the british acu approval.Are the road legal over here still.?

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Aldi stuff doesnt look so good this year....http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/2827_5406.htm

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Those tank bags are superb. Well worth the money and a bit sturdier than the Lidl ones.:thumleft:

Oh- and those socks are nice too - need to see how the Lidl ones compare before I get another couple of pairs.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

i got the tank bag cant complain ere.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

The ACU mark doesnt mean anything as far as the roads or legality are concerned. We were told on our CBT what to look for and they said the ACU mark dont mean ****.

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

Is the stuff in the stores? The websites say from 20th March for Lidl and from 24th for Aldi?

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

I'm goin to see Im Indoors tomorrow so i'm going to have a peek in our Lidl's ont way....imagine the face when I tell him I'm going to be a flea in his ear!!!!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed they put stuff out early

Re: its back........lidl bike stuff
 

I think i'll get a pair of those bike to bike radios as my friend just past her test and they are a bargain.
