Aldi bike gear this Sunday.

[Ribenapigeon]

Aldi have bike gear in this Sunday. I'm needing new boots are there's any good?

[Tamsin]

Bought boots there last year, used nearly every day and still dry and still feel in nearly new condition, I have no complaints on the durability front.

They do feel a little bit plasticy and low rent but they are comfortable enough, ok to walk short distances in and I suspect they would crash fairly well, but I'm not an expert.

Would buy again, but I don't need any right now

The gloves from last year were pretty good too....

I think i'll buy a load of the WD-40 stuff and a bluetooth helmet kit.

Chain clean and chain lube are at throwaway prices if the same size bottles as what I'd usually get for around £8 from any regular shop.

I use the mucoff chain lube. Hows the WD40 stuff measure up?

You get what you pay for yada yada. I've personally never tried the boots but in my experience unless they are goretex you gonna get wet feet it's just a matter of when not if.

Those who say otherwise obviously haven't ridden on the motorway in a vortex of spray and torrential rain.

Also Aldi is for peasents. It stinks literally in Aldis I've ever been in of cheapness I don't expect their motorcycle gear to be anything but.

I think the usual £8 cans are 400ml these are 200ml

There was something on TV recently about how their veg is past date

Main reason I don't go to Lidl/Aldi is that they only ever seem to have 2 checkouts open, and some of their stuff is garbage, such as tin tomatoes that are just water.

Any experience of the jeans?

I wouldn't bother getting anything that I'd expect to be of decent, reliable, long lasting quality from Aldi.
I did however buy a few pairs of bike socks and a base layer set a couple of years ago and they do a good job and have lasted, which to be honest, I didn't expect.

I'll check out the WD stuff but my main target will be the Singapore noodles.

Is the Bluetooth headset any good?
