Aldi - did anyone buy the kit last week?

[Dave W]

I tried their pro bib longs but found them a bit restrictive. Their black roubaix type jackets didn't seem bad for £30

anyone else take a look? I wonder if they are pricing themselves out of the market now?

[Steveo2020]

I bought a few things:

1. Socks - these were the best thing. Nice and warm and fit great.

2. Base layer - this is ok - like any other synthetic base layer. I think it is meant to be 'compression' fit, but I accidentally bought a size too big and it fits me fine.

3. Long sleeve jersey - haven't tried it yet, but seems fine. Material is quite thin and it has a slightly annoying flap over your bum.

5. Bib tights. I liked these - quality seemed good and v reflective but the small was too big for me, but got money back so no complaints at all.

Cheers

I found all the sizes a bit small when I bought some kit there a few years ago.

I never realised I was so consistently 'large' until I went into Aldi...

I bought a cycle jersey three weeks ago. At nine pounds they are great work shirts that I can cycle in as well.

Bought 2 sets of base layers. Fits fine with a large, nice and snug. Thought it wasn't going to fit with it been "compression" as them never do.

I went down to the Havant, Hampshire branch for my weekly bulk stock-up of ingredients for Pasta Lash-up.

There wasn't any of the advertised cycling stock present ( which is very unusual ).

Not that I was bothered. My days of frenzy for Aldi/Lidl cycling goods are long gone,

[Dave W]

I don't think the frenzy exists any more. This stuff was a tad expensive by Aldi/Lidl standards. There was loads of stuff left yesterday - didn't seem to be selling particularly well. For a few dollars more you would be into DHB territory from Wiggle.

[MattyDeez]

Yeah, it was a bit pricey at £13.99 each, and that isn't a pair. Its for one of bottoms or top!

Wiggle do a twin pack deal at £30 so, saved £8 getting 2 pairs.

Ilkeston Aldi doesn't seem to stock merino wool kit any more, is this the same in other Aldis?

They don't keep it in stock all the time. They get cycling clothing for 1 week in Autumn and Spring and once it has sold, that's it for 6 months.

They've got merino base layers in tomorrow (5th) as part of their ski stuff if that is of any interest to folk (link).

I'm there first thing in the morning then! I love the middle isle at Aldi,
