Aldi Biker Bargains on the way.

[Strifae]

I bought the boots 3 years ago from Aldi and they are fantastic, they have lasted me riding pretty much all year in most conditions and are actually waterproof as well. 3 years on with little care they look pretty much the same as when I bought them

Had summer gloves from there that are fine though lightly armoured and not waterproof. Also had a decent rainsuit and half decent tankbag too in the past.. only thing i wouldnt use would be the hrlmets. Rest is good for basic stuff on a budget till you can afford better kit

I've bought a few things from Aldi before and I was very impressed. Particularly a wheel lock with built in alarm for 8 quid!

I bought a disc lock from them and after a couple of uses it wouldn't unlock..fortunately it was off the bike at the time. I took it back and tried the others they had and they were just as bad.

Beware cheap ALDI stuff. Like Henry Royce said: The quality remains long after the price is forgotten.

CROATIA?? Really?

I went to Hein Gericke in Hamburg last week, hoping for closeout bargains. But appears to be business as usual over there!

E.g., some Alpine Stars stuff now made in Croatia.

Aldi - German  Hein Gerrick --- German,  there must be a lot of stock laying around have they done a deal 

Hein Gericke Germany now appear to have a buyer (Spanish, I think). Large orders out to them recently.
