    Just when I saw the thread on the bike stuff in Aldi,
    I was wondering does anyone have previous experience with the paddock stands on offer?

    Are they any good ??

    Thanks:)

    With a 28-day quibble free "change of mind" option (plus 3-year warranty), you can always bring 'em back, I suppose.

    Has anyone any experience of/views on their Kevlar jeans? At forty yoyos I'm kinda tempted. I'm usually ATGATT, but full leathers isn't always ideal — I'm pushing 50 and I think my missus dies a little when she sees me putting them on... :D (and yes, I know the short answer to that!)

    Stay well clear of them, google Aldi kevlar and you will see why!

    If you're gonna buy two stands, Morrisson's in Cork do 'em cheaper, even with postage:

    The Aldi paddock stand is a good bit of kit.:)

    Its fully height adjustable.

    It also has 2 seperate quick fit front fork/swingarm attachments for raising the front or the back of your bike...which ever you need to do.:)


    3 year warranty too (just hold onto the reciept).

    Ah sure I know that :)- was only quoting it as a price comparison but on looking at the previous posts looks like Mr. Aldi's kit is the one to go for.
