I'm tempted by the shoes. Does anyone have any experience with Aldi bike gear?

I bought the panniers last time around. Not given them much of a hard time, but useful for the price.

I was thinking of grabbing the panniers then modifying them a bit to chuck on my 250, possible? Good idea?
I have tried another set of cycle panniers on there, the straps just aren't long enough to sit over the seat nicely.

I've got some of the Lycra stuff from there, the shorts and top, only to wear under my baggy shorts or under my textiles on my 250, prevent numb bum. Seem reasonable enough for the money.

I'm having more fun than a well-oiled midget.

I bought the shoes. Seem decent quality, will just have to see how long they last now.

Did anyone else get anything? My local store looked like Primark first thing on Sunday, was a mad house Laughing

I got a few things:

Helmet
Mitts
Premium jersey
Cycle computer
Socks

They all seem decent quality and no reason they shouldn't last. If I have any more cash at the end of the weeks I'll go back and see what they have left, if anything, as I'd like a new jacket.

If I didnt already have a camelback (albeit grotty and old), I would have got one of their hydration bag things, they looked half decent.

Storage is minimal but nice and streamlined. Got it for the motorbike as much as on the bicycle. Good zipper pocket thing inside on a chord too that looks waterproof that will be useful. And lower exterior pocket has a pull out orange high viz waterproof over cover Smile

I've had the blue fleece, which has done me ok for a couple of years, though zip on the upper rear pocket recently went dodgy. Has had plenty of use, as take it running too.

Also have a waterproof jacket, but they don't have that up in this lot.

The tyre slime stuff is ideal for off road motorcycling.
