LIDL from Thurs. 27th Feb.

[chaz]

I went for a look today, you get what you pay for? sooner look in the sales at bike dealers.

I got the socks, and despite what the above posters have said, thought I'd try the lid.
I gave one a pretty good thumping in the store.
Yes, it does feel cheap, corners are clearly cut. But this costs less than a visor for my 7yr old Roof that desperately needs a visor... And it comes with a spare visor, plus various replacement pads.
I got home and messed with the pads and have got a pretty good fit. The flip up seems like it'll take a beating.

Would I trust it on a fast ride or track session? Probably not.

Would I trust it for my commute, where I average 25mph? Sure. And that's how I plan to use it.

/\ +1, head down Halford and buy the socket separately, or ebay.

Although, walking to collect the item from the eBay seller, no matter how far, is usually quicker than waiting for assistance in Halfords to get something out of the fucking locked glass cases... which is where 90% of the useful stuff is.

I have given up trying to buy their stuff

All Kick Ass'ed up in the under garments. Socks seem good to and thinner than Aldi's.
Next stop Aldi see what their gear is like this year.

I actually got some gloves for use in the maybe my first month of fair weather riding when it is still a bit cold,
I've actually already got some mega thin really hot weather furygan summer gloves and my hope is that i can squeeze these under the lidl ones for extra protection...like double bagging.

Aldi stuff is now showing online.
