    Bargain hunters might be interested in the Ultegra 12-25T cassette that Halfords are selling for £20 right now: http://www.halfords.com/cycling/cycling-parts/cassettes-freewheels/shimano-cs-6700-ultegra-10-speed-cassette.

    You have to select the size to see the price, and it’s only the 12-25 that gets the discount. Happily, that’s my favourite size 🙂

    Their light-weight foldup polyester rain jackets are great. Light rain jackets tend to be fragile and losable, so good to have a source of cheap one.

    Recovery.

    You finish your ride, nip in to Aldi, pick up the pie then and climb in to one of their freezers like an ice bath and tuck in to it.

    Is the lemon meringue pie small enough to fit in one’s jersey pocket or is it more a recovery food thing? And does the digital electronic safe come supplied with bike mounts?

    Perhaps it demonstrates what happens if you don your Aldi kit and go for a spin too soon after eating a trough of the Indian grub also on offer.

    Carlton Kirby talks about ‘the dangling carrot’, in this pic the vegetable has been photoshopped out.

    I’ve found the base layers to be superb, both vest and short sleeves. For the money it can not be beaten for the commuter and occasional rider, I wouldn’t use the kit on longer rides and sportives where longterm comfort are more of a priority.

    I’d probably say those Hex keys I used out the set were even worse than a 33 unit bender as an excuse for those blood values!

    A cheap Aldi cape did me
    A cheap Aldi cape did me right for a year. Not the best, but it did the job.

    Bought a Crane HR monitor (watch) but found it frustrating – part way through a ride it would climb to 230bpm and then beep at me for the rest of the ride (presumably to tell me I was about to die). It may have only been £14ish, but it was £14 wasted and spoiled a few rides.

    Love my ALDI base layer.

    Found the base layers to be hit and miss. Bought two earlier in the year, one t-shirt style, one vest style. The t-shirt one was so unusually high in the neck that it felt like it was choking me (and no, I wasn’t wearing it backwards, tried that!) and returned it the next day. The vest style one is great though, would happily buy another.

    The arm warmers work just fine as well, especially for £5 or whatever silly price it was. And a couple of pairs of socks for £3, probably wouldn’t use them for any longer distance, but more than adequate for the daily commute.

    It’s almost the “descend like a pro” sitting on the top tube position. But not quite. And on the flat.

    … at least get your hands on the drops man.

    Or it could be he is having a poo?
