Looked, for travel (holidays and bike box) but the 80psi limit put me off.

If you use anything bigger than 23mm tyres, 80psi is plenty.

Any sign of things from https://www.lidl.ie/en/special-offers.htm?articleId=21101 hitting any stores yet? Took a look around yesterday, but not in stock in the 3 places I checked.

FYI, this is the cycling forum - the thread is about cycling related items in aldi/lidl.

Some cyclists like "trimming-the-hedge" IYKWIM

If you're a roadie please only buy bib-shorts, don't want to see yer asr3crack in cycling "shorts" thanks very much. I have Aldi nappy cycling shorts from years ago but only wear them under less well padded bibs.

There's a reasonable selection of women's cycling shorts - crivit pro - in lidl in santry, the one in Omni, if anyone was looking for some. Reduced by 50% to six quid each.

Muahahaha

Nice one theres a track pump, been after one for a while and they werent coming up in Aldi or Lidl on previous cycling weeks

CantGetNoSleep

They are a great track pump too, might buy another one just to permanently stick in the car and maybe even one for the office

Looks just like the pannier bag is for sale, no pannier racks.
Personally I'd avoid that bag, as it only clips in at the top, with no bottom hooks to stop it bouncing around.

magicbastarder

i bought the previous set, which have velcro straps as well as the clips.

Bought two pannier bags but thought they could be used as backpacks as per pictures on Lidl app. Disappointed to find they are messenger bag style only.

My local Lidl (Dundrum village) had two different kinds of transformable pannier. One (slightly larger) in the messenger bag style and the other in roll-top backpack style. Both €13, so they may well agree to exchange it if they have the other kind.

I decided against getting either one as they only have clips and straps at the top, so was worried about bouncing around as per gman's comment (I've never used panniers before, so I've no experience as to whether this is a big issue).

seems pretty clear from this pic that there are 2 styles, but the text of the ad doesn't mention it:

Yes, only realised when I got home. Went back to swap and have one of each now.

At a push but they wouldn’t take a massive amount of punishment. You could prob fit a normal school bag into them to use instead tbh.

Roberto_gas

Apparently they have both messenger(new type) and back pack style bags(slight improvements over last year)

No sizes listed - big problem for bigger gents who may need XXL in some items.

They usually have a range of sizes. Drop into the shop and see, I suppose
