Pity they are not doing the workstands any more. I've been keeping an eye out for them for the last year. I missed the Aldi ones last year.

Lidl had workstands last August. How do you now they won't be selling them again this coming August?

the saddle bag is ok, theyre quite roomy so you'll fit a lot in there and they come with a repair kit and multi-tool.

any1 ever used the bike chain cleaning kit?

Khannie

Was just wondering about the chain cleaning kit myself. At 6 euro though it's hard to go badly wrong.

Looks like there's a choice of a tool bag:



or a repair kit:



I don't see a chain tool in either (though I'm not surprised given the price).

From what I've used, the multi-tool with the bag looks the same as the one I have: definately worth the money and the bag is good. Chain cleaning kit: mine broke very easily, could be a once off so the jury is out. Gloves: If they're the same as the ones I have, they're my prefered glove, definately worth the money.

The mtb shorts are ok too. Must get another pair!

Chain cleaning kit is great - friend of mine has one and I was really impressed. I will be definitely picking up one.

Haven't used the chain cleaning kit but I recognise the brand (Crivit) as I got the same branded Lidl wetsuit last year and its great quality

Popped in for a look, I got the chain cleaner and they seem solid out. The gloves however are bad quality, I tried on three pairs. The stitching in two came apart and the third was ripped before I put them on. They look relatively nice but I don't think they would stand up to regular use. They are not like any glove I have seen Lidl sell before which were always durable.

Nice croissants though:)

This is a POS! Even the feckin' spanner broke. Don't buy.

snubbleste

Agree on the gloves. They are of woeful quality.

dastardly00

Was in Lidl this morning and I agree with what people have already said.
The chain cleaning kit looked decent enough so I got one.
The gloves don't look great at all, they are meant to be "mountain bike" gloves. Not the usual type that they have in Lidl/Aldi.

Punnet of raspberries are only €0.99, and the danish pastries are damn good

Khannie

Nice one. Just about to spin over and was going to get the gloves. Thanks for the heads up.

Faker74

Anybody know what the stock levels are like in the Moore Street store?

I was hoping to pick up the Lights, and small repair kit, but don't want to waste my lunchtime heading over there if there is nothing to be had.

Cheers

Lidl stores now have a bakery section (obviously not all stores though!), they have the usual assortment of breads, pastries etc. The ovens are located right there in the aisle so you can see everything being baked and the smell is fantastic.

(sorry, off topic I know!)

Went to Lidl in Bandon this morning, they had no gloves or the socks:mad:, got a jacket there. Then went to Lidl in Clonakilty(on the way to the inlaws) they had the gloves but still no sock:(.

poor enough that they advertise all the range but dont have the stuff in all the stores:rolleyes:


PS: dont know what 'good' gloves are like, so these will do as a starter pair

ccull123

Just back from LIDL in Walkinstown Ave, Crumlin. Loads of gear left. I went specifically for the chain cleaning kit and there was about 40/50 of them left.

Khannie

The fingerless gloves seemed ok to my noobish hands so I got a pair. Got the chain cleaner, small tool set, gel saddle cover for the missus and jacket.

That was in the balbriggan one. They seemed to have everything in stock and reasonable levels of it when I was there.

I also treated myself and the missus to danish, apple turnover and pain au chocolat between us. Yum yum yum yum yum. Delicioso!

You put them in your backpack with various useless items?

Ah a bit harsh. The saddle bag and tool are always a good buy, the chain cheaner seems the same quality as a €20 one I bought a year ago... The gloves are a bit of a mystery tbh, they look the job but the ones in my local shop were like they were made of paper.

The above link shows a chain whip. Is this just for decoration or are they actually on sale???

Saw around 10 people waiting outside the Lidl in Rathmines earlier just at 8am.

Went in with a specific list in mind so didn't really check levels of everything, but at lunch time Moore Street seemed to have decent levels of stock - in particular the saddle covers, the lights (bought a set) and chain cleaners (again bought one).

Only thing they seemed to be running low on were the jackets and shorts.

My local lidl is only a short walk from my apt so I strolled over before work. When I got there there were about 20 cars in the car park, I realised when I went in that there's also a sale in garden plants, the vast majority of people I met this morning were there for the plants.... cycling is sooo last year, gardening is what all the cool kids are up to these days.

Picked myself up the jacket, grand for the price and packs into it's own pocket. Sizes are a bit odd though, large was too big but medium was too small, the sleeves are the problem, they're too short for a cycling jacket.

thebouldwhacker

You don't ride one of these by any chance?

same as myself. Picked up the chain cleaner. Seems to work fine.Almost Managed to steer away from the bakery. Ended up with pretzel. That bakery is dangerous.
