They've not got them on line yet, will probably be up tomorrow..
OP must be getting their information from somewhere
In store leaflet probably
It was mentioned in one of their leaflets a couple of weeks ago.
This weeks leaflets might be in store now too, but it's not on their website yet.
Didn't see it advertised yesterday, but will keep an eye out.
I saw the leaflet the other day but couldn't find anything out online..
Cheers
I hope they have those seat mounted rear lights again, I didn't get there in time last time. hmmm what shall I pick up at the same time?
The aldi 'pringles' really don't cut it but they do stock proper stella!
I've been commuting for the past 5-6 months on their mtb gloves that I picked up last year, still in pretty good nick considering I've made use of them use down the allotment quite a few times.
I'll be picking up another set this time around.
Yep, I'll probably get another light as a spare if they have them - really good.
Get the waterproof socks if they have some. Also great.
I'll be getting the winter gloves if they have them - my pair is now 5 years old at least and has stood up well but starting to get tatty.
the items are on the app
not a huge amount but definitely mtb specific rather than general cycling
may get the mudguard(attached to a reverb stealth in the promo shots) and a top.
Try aldi dark chocolate with hazelnuts in. It's almost worth a visit just for that!
Most places have it in milk chocolate, not dark chocolate
why would they do winter gloves in April?
Last years MTB gloves were great, think they got a thumbs up in the magazine as well.
Do not try the fruit and nut bars......

Cos it's Britain. More chance of a white easter, than a white Christmas.
That is true, although Easter is over 😆
They are good though, I'm a big fan. I need more lobster gloves but I suspect I may be waiting a while
Will get some long fingered gloves if they have any
Link to the Irish offers if any good for now.

*high five*
Lovely stuff.
Garmin Edge 25 for £89 is a good deal.

snowing in Breacon Beacons today
Those gloves look like an updated version of last year's very excellent ones, albeit a couple of quid more. I'll get another pair add mine have been excellent.
Just looked on the app, front Cree light looks good. Is there a better option for £40?
double post
You might get something similar for cheaper online, but when you factor in the three-year warranty (which would just involve returning it to the shop and getting your money back), plus the knowledge that the charger isn't going to burn your house down, the Aldi one looks very good value.
Never thought I'd see night riding go this mainstream!
Thanks chakaping - have seen plenty on eBay but obviously all with Chinese chargers
Cree light looks ok (unless someone wants to tell me otherwise 😀 )
Hmm,Jnr needs a new light for night riding.....
Had a pair of the gloves last year. The gel pad seems to be in a weird place to me.
Are the shorts worth a punt?
Tempted by the light and shorts!
[url= https://www.aldi.co.uk/specialbuys/dates/sunday-10th-april/c/2016-04-10 ]It's up on their website now[/url].
I notice you can order it all online with free delivery!
Any more thoughts on the light?
I know it's not the newest cree led but is there any better options taking reliability and service into account?
Picked up a pair of thise Aldi MTB shorts last year. I wouldn't bother personally. They didnt last very long at all. They also weren't very comfortable. Shame really, their jackets and gloves are fine!
Lights come with a 36 month warranty!

Are they all the same brand though? I'm sure I've had Crivit (sp?) and someone else so these shorts could be totally different... or totally the same
Ordered a hoody and some shorts for delivery 🙂

Crivit is Lidl, Crane is Aldi.
Not tried those shorts, but I think the Aldi clothing is usually pretty good. Though annoyingly it often isn't available in a small size.
Maybe that's me getting confused then, I think I have a mixture of Aldi & Lidl thinking they were all Aldi
Work stand ordered with free delivery. Excellent! 😀
They could do with some better sizing info, having to order M & L then return whichever doesnt fit is a pain
Anyone know what those stands are like? getting tired of hanging the bike on the washing line.
Think I'll be getting shorts, gloves, hoodie, maybe the light, maybe two pairs of gloves and shorts.....
The Garmin's gone from the site 🙁
The shorts were OK last year, I thought, could have done to have been an inch or two longer.
Might get the light for Jnr as my old one he uses is dying. Might get some gloves for the whole family. Intrigued by an MTB hoody as well.
Workstand ordered! Saves me doing the usual: Getting to the local Aldi not-quite-early-enough and finding some pikey curnutt's bought them all up to lob on Ebay...
I guess the answer to the light question is anything with a 3 yeah warranty is bound to be better than the latest fire starter from China then?!
New here but been a lurker for a while
Garmin available on Amazon for the same price - only 4 left though
Kamakazie - C&B seen do a 3 x Cree light and good after sales support for less than an Aldi unbranded light. They've replaced a battery for me no quibble and sent the replacement out before I returned the faulty item. Think you're indirectly paying for that 3 year warranty IMHO

The reflective shoe clip lights in the running section are a good idea for night road / commuting

Thanks dufusdip. A colleague has some c and b seen so I'll see what they think.
Are the £6.99 gloves the full on hardcore winter gloves that are brilliant below freezing, or just a 'Spring' full finger?
Correct me if I'm wrong but those c and b seen lights at those prices are head units only? Still have to factor in mounts and batteries?
£45 posted for a C&B 1200 lumen kit
Don't think they'd be winter gloves in April, they certainly don't look like them.Are the £6.99 gloves the full on hardcore winter gloves that are brilliant below freezing, or just a 'Spring' full finger?
The winter stuff is normally in October/November time.
I find that on flat bars, but they're fine for drops. One of the fingers went through quickly in mine, but that's not unusual as I have weirdly long digits. I'll just buy a couple of pairs, still cheaper than other options.Had a pair of the gloves last year. The gel pad seems to be in a weird place to me.
edit - there's a non-gel option too. And that Muc-Off stuff is a bargain!
Just picked up a couple of lights, will report back later.
The £6.99 gloves seem fine, a light 3 season type thing.
2 styles, the non velcro ones were a poor fit for me.
Worth a punt to see if I like full finger lighter gloves.
Not many MTBers in Corby obviously. Or they were all still out riding.
Grabbed a couple of pairs of shorts (had some Aldi winter ones previously and liked them), two pairs of non gel gloves (the non Velcro ones fit me fine it seems), couple of pairs of socks socks (just because...) and took a punt on their 'technical' riding hoodie - surprisingly good on first trying on (have to see how it holds up to wear and tear) and might be a nice spring/autumn alternative to a lightweight jacket.
All for less than the cost of a pair of branded shorts...
Guess it's the old 'Hope vs XT bottom bracket' discussion all over again.
Garmins are £79.99 in store. My local has two in cabinet. Just medium shorts for me.
Hoodies are huge and baggy, not fitted at all but nice long arms. Medium was the smallest they do and was massive on me (6'3, 32 waist and 38 chest)
Just got a couple of pairs of XL gloves
Got some shorts. Bit too baggy and not quite long enough for me, probably OK for days without knee pads. Small (if they did them) would have been a better fit.
Also got some of the gloves with Velcro closure, seem pretty good for £5.99 and fitted better than the other style.
I bought some of the shorts , they seem good for the price fairly well made ill have to see how they last.
also some of the muc of chain lube again good price and one of the mudguards for my sons bike. Fitted eventually after a bit of faffing , tried it on my road bike and mountain bike both fitted with fizik saddles and it did not want to fit.Ha? a look for the gloves for my son but didnt have xs sadly.
The gloves are good for the money. Very similar indeed to Endura Full Monty's
Have they got any lycra shorts?
How are the shorts and jerseys sizing up in the real world?
I got large shorts and the waist size is pretty much exactly as described (36" - 38"). They are not long though - I have short legs (30") and they are only just knee length on me...

Have they got any lycra shorts?
No. Not in my local store anyway.
I got a top, shorts and hoddie, all large, top spot on, hoodie is like a dress on me and shorts slightly to big on waist,like others have said they are short shorts
Their clothing often seems to be "German-cut" for strangely proportioned gibbons with a bit of a gut, hence I only ever bother with the odd cheap jacket, socks, gloves or leg warmers...
In case people are searching for the lights, they had quite a few sets left now (Monday lunch) at their M23 9SR store, baguley, Manchester.
What's the "Urban" Muc-off stuff like? Worth it on a filthy mtb?
Picked up some of the big lights for Jnr, and some of the chain lube as I'm nearly out. Looked at the hoodie but figured I could get one at Decathlon if I really need one.
Also found some Swarfega Orange cheap in the leftovers bin.
Currently undoing all the weekends good work with a slab of the Choceur Fruit and Nut....
got the lights and a pair of gloves, rest of it looked too nasty even for me.
I picked up one of the £25 quid stands in Macclesfield this morning - they had loads at 9am. I see try are sold out online.
