    Disappointing line up compared with last years stuff. Won't be getting anything. Lets hope Aldi is better but won't be expecting their stuff in until early May.

    My local (Reading South) had more than the web suggests, no stands though.

    Both floor pumps at the same price, one to 8bar, one just 6... wonder which I'd buy.

    BUT why dear God do they never have small sizes of anything... Grr. :x

    I bought socks and a jersey. Socks seem pretty good, jersey less so but it'll do as a spare. In case you all were wondering, I think it's just a little too long but comfy enough!

    Bought some 3/4 length shorts for the turbo but the stitching unravelled as I put them on for the first time
    The Jersey in a Large swamps me as does the Gilet so going to try and exchange them if theres any left tonight

    The toddler picked up some mini chocolate eggs whilst we were in there and they're quite nice so all was not lost

    one that will inflate your tyres!!

    I've tried a coule of their pumps before and would have had more luck trying to blow the tyres up myself!!

    i bought the track pump last year, still going strong. Inflates to crazy pressures no problems. Doubt i would have bought 5 though ^^ ;)

    The pump looked solid, but I just checked the 6Bar version and didn't know there was a better one. Might go back for this.

    Jersey is alright for an extra. Had to go a size down. Mitts are never bad either. LIDL's muesli bars are terrible.

    So quick question about the pump for those that have one:
    Universal dual pump head for use with American, Woods and Schrader valves

    I thought American = Schrader. Would this be a typo / does it fit Presta valves? I do have adaptors, but it would be easier if they weren't needed.

    I missed out on the stands last year (too slow to get down there in time) but found them on Ebay for about £5 extra. Have a look - bound to be some on sale.

    Watchout the jerseys are like dresses they are that long in the body. :?

    I think they did the same sizing as the dresses they are selling: :lol:

    Bought a track pump there last year. Appalling quality. The little lever to lock the thingy on to the valve was made out of something akin to stale play-doh.
    It just sort of mushed itself into oblivion within a couple of uses. They replaced it, but the second one was equally pathetic.
    I ended up spending about 5 times as much on a decent lezyne track pump which has been awesome ever since.

    The trick with Lidl stuff is to work out what's inexpensive, and what's just cheap.

    +1

    I find the jerseys and jackets are usually pretty good, but anything mechanical or any accessories are usually best avoided
