I was wondering when they were going to have more bike gear in. Cheers

All the stuff I bought 3 years ago from the last one are still in perfect working order so don't need much. Although the jacket looks too good to pass up.

Was just using my bike stand this morning to adjust my gears

Still use their cycle stand on a regular basis. Tried a couple of the clothing items and didn't get on with any of them. Cycle stand is pretty decent though smile

Pretty much. Only slight problem I have found is the adjustable bits don't do up super tight. If you have a particularly tight bolt I find the bike swings up when you put your weight into it. The little tool tray is useful but does tend to get int he way

For normal brake / deraliauer adjustment, cleaning and general maintenance its fine.

Thanks!

I think thats about what I was expecting to use it for - maybe a bit of light assembly and cleaning so I'm not kneeling on the garage floor.

I bought the soft-shell top yesterday. Unfortunately the instructions say "wash with similar colours" and I don't have any other dayglo-yellow and black clothing ...

Was just going to say, I'll be checking out the backpacks.

I had an aldi one that was about £15 with a bladder included - excellent, very water proof.

Then changed to an Alpinestar (was £99 reduced to £60).. No where near as good. These Lidl ones for £13 look like exact copies of my Alpine Star version!.. so probably excellent value at their prices.
