Lidl

Lidl's have some good deals on some bits and bobs starting this week.

Think I'm going to try out a pair of the glasses they are selling!

Lidl Bike Accessories

Just had a quick look, might be worth a trip down to have a look at the quality, can't complain about the prices tho.

Graydawg

Sorry - I should've posted the link! :oops:

Yeah quality might not be great but £8 for the glasses has to be ok. Especially when they stand a good chance of falling off or getting scraped!

Agoogy

For glasses search for Bolle Contour ESP on the bay..... cheaper than Lidl and really good.

recommended on here by many....

For the attention of anyone in the Edinburgh area:

The Lidl sale has been cancelled so please stay out of the stores!

Any chance they'll actually be more gear there now when I get there!!!!

Isn't it next week it starts : the 22nd?

Or is it just my local store?

ExeterSimon

Starts 22nd down 'ere in Execetuuuur.

Think it's the same nationwide.

Graydawg

Yeah think it starts next monday. One of the guys in the office said his missus picked up the leaflet and thought it said the 18th here. So I'm going to check tomorrow to be sure I don't miss out.

Don't normally shop in Lidls so not au-fait with their promotional dates etc...

For what it's worth my lidl SPD shoes and leggings are going strong after 9 months of regular commuter use.

Gonna buy some spare shoes cos they're so good.

I might give the jacket, shorts and shoes a go, Aldi do cycling stuff from time to time as well

Porgy

they always start here the week before payday and everything's gone when i have some money.

Hey I already posted this, it starts monday

Give the pump a miss, it's poo
Bought one and it disintegrated the second time I used it...
Also the glove sizing, I bought "large" gloves from Lidl last year and yea, they may be large in China but they sure are not large by Western sizing and I do not have hands like shovels either..

Porgy

Funny - I found the gloves fine. I've got quite big hands I reckon and if anything the ones I bought are a little roomy - only a little mind and still wearing well after a year.

Thumbs up for the glasses.
Had a nasty head plant on the road last year - glasses gave me a blackeye but kept intact 100% and probably prevented some nasty damage to my eye.

Would recommend.

Are the wee computers any good?

Noclue

With regards to the mini pumps, i think it may depend on the model, i got one last summer and saw an absolute identical one branded as giant winning a group test in cycle active last month and fwiw i found mine to be faultless, best 3 quid i've spent in a while.

The Big Cheese

Will defo get the shorts and glasses - seems silly not to.

I have have been using tinted dewalt sunglasses (which are suprisingly strong)

RichJJ

Got a few bits in there today and they look OK for the price certainly. £7 for tops and sleevless tops, £6 for shorts, £3 for gloves. Even bought SWMBO a gillet for £7 and a new helmet and gloves (in case she finds out that I spent £50). Not so sure on their sizing though, bought everything in a medium and some bits are loose whereas others are OK if I don't need to breathe. All in all though quite pleased.

sturmey

The gilet sizing is a bit roomy to say the least. I am a 42/43" chest but the Large size(labelled as 42/44) was massive.
I got the medium and its 'fitted' on me but with room in the back and shoulders. You would have to be 25stone plus to need the XL/

mr-brightside

i bought the wireless computer , ive been messing with it for nearly 3 hours,
i only wanted to now how far ive been i dont care how high up i am or how fast my hearts beating or what the temperature is maybe i should of gone to argos :?

Paul 8v

They only had a few bits in my size by the time I got there, they only had massive shorts left when I got there which was a bummer and the aformentioned sail size XL jackets!
I did get three jerseys which were pretty good and a compression vest, I got some gloves for the missus as she hardly rides so £3 isn't really going to break the bank!

jonnyc2420

got to agree with Porgy - they ALWAYS manage to do this about 2 weeks before pay day.......

what's the compression underwear stuff like?

was tempted this morning when i bought the shoes and pump but ran out of time to ponder them

cee
