    Well, I popped over to Lidl this morning, picked up the stand and I’m looking at it now. Thanks for the endorsements from those who bought one previously, I’m happy so far.

    Work stand is great, I picked up a toolkit that included a chain whip, cassette tool etc for next to nothing. Very pleased.

    I’ve got the stand too; it’s good. Very solid, though the clamp could be a little better.

    The Lidl work stands are all right, I bought one a couple of years ago and it is still going strong. Might just go and get myself a spare one at that price. Anyone know if the lights are okay?

    Lidl cycling offers are on
    Lidl cycling offers are on again from tomorrow (3rd April), and there’s actually something I might take a look at.

    They have a workstand listed for £30, and if it can hold a bike up in the air without falling over, that’s pretty much all I need. Unfortunately the picture on their website don’t show the legs.

    Oh, they also have a cable lock for £2.49 if anyone is interested :))

    Instead of or as well as?
    Vision of getting home to an ear-bending from the other half, along the lines of ‘well the kids can’t eat that on toast, can they?’. The response of ‘yes, but it goes over 100psi’ was later offered as just cause in the divorce courts. Although the counter-argument that the medical procedure to remove said item from back passage caused great distress was dismissed.

    I grabbed that one when it was down £8 😀 Indeed one of my best cycle clothing related investments.

    Also got a pair of their ‘winter’ tights – very comfy, and after using it all winter long, for a daily 35 mile commute, it’s showing very few signs of wear.

    Have found that the Aldi kit
    Have found that the Aldi kit is a bit better than the Lidl. Though on saying that. It feels like both aim at the weekly, cycle round the park leisure cyclist. If using on a daily basis for big miles the stuff just doesn’t last. And is literally a season only purchase. Their socks are sound though, as are the base layers

    ^ That was my thinking, but then I guess we’re all doing this with different budgets and so it may be of interest to someone. I do need some cheap glasses mind…

    Agree though about the Aldi kit, couple of bits I’ve bought have fared well, particularly compared against own brand gear from the likes of Wiggle and Decathlon.

    Nothing in that little lot
    Nothing in that little lot looks tempting at all. You might as well go to Tesco / Sports Direct / the Range and buy their cheapo kit.

    Aldi stuff is actually half decent… my ‘winter’ softshell (£15) has paid for itself many times over.
