Will be getting the gloves, I was hoping for glasses as I need a clear pair for the winter.

With the merino wool stuff would you be able to wear it 10 times a week (in and out of work) without washing it or is that a bit meh?

Was hoping for some sort of bag to carry my pump,spare tube and tyre levers,currently stuffed into the back pocket on my jacket.
Saw a guy the other day with a nice bag strapped onto the cross bar,nice narrow profile, would be ideal.

Ill probably grab some socks and maybe shoes.

I got something like this for tubes etc, probably too small for your pump though

Bought the light set last year, the mount is perfect as a mounting on a helmet.

Which lights do you mean?

Will these be any use? I was looking to pick up a jacket and waterproof trousers for the Winter.

How does it work, this stuff comes on sale to the general public on the 26th and it's first come, first served?

I bought the jacket this time last year. It's the exact same as the one in the pic.

Great value, still wear it regularly

Just wrote out my shopping list for the morning. Comes to just a few cents under €100.

It's a pity they don't have the glasses this time around.

I'll drop in to possibly get a water bottle, and maybe also have a look at the shoes.

Check the hole centers on the bottle bracket, last time they had it, they weren't properly spaced.

Usual story with sizes - there was only one Men's Merino Jersey in M (I didn't get it) and none of the Merino baselayers in M that I saw. (Parnell St.)

Pdoghue · 26-09-2013 11:07AM

Have never seen anything like what I witnessed this morning at Aldi in Rathmines. Was like a feeding frenzy in the zoo.

I rolled up at just before 9 but there was a queue of about 10 people there before me. By the time the doors were opened, the crowd had swelled and there was a stampede to where the cycling gear was. A lot of folk pushing, barging and jostling to get what they wanted. People snapping at each other, elbows everywhere, and a lot of 'anoraks' present it seemed to me, and I don't mean the gear.

Anyway I got what I wanted and departed.

smacl · 26-09-2013 11:14AM

Just back from Nutgrove, all the mens merino base layers were gone, but everything else was there. Only went up for spare batteries, which were at a good price.

kildarecommuter · 26-09-2013 12:40PM

Got the xl merino wool base layer in Clane earlier excellent fit which surprised me, and some socks
Seemed to be a bit of a schmaozzle over the soft shell jkts and anoraks !

Cheers for the info, I was going to head up to Parnell street after work to get the jacket in a medium. Was there many left or even any in medium? Nothing worse than travelling and all thats left is huge sizes they can't shift or over ordered!

kildarecommuter · 26-09-2013 05:16PM

Know a colleague went up to Parnell St earlier today said nothing much left of anything

merc230ce · 26-09-2013 05:17PM

Ah shoot, I was actually back in there at lunchtime but I didn't take any notice of the jackets. Judging by everything else though, it'll be slim pickings - very little left in the baskets (the jackets were hanging up).

No lights at all, a few arm warmers etc., very few jerseys (presumably weird sizes), etc.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 26-09-2013 05:39PM

Both stores in Letterkenny have bear enough full stock of everything remaining at lunchtime and that possibly has t changed much even now.

Andy Magic · 26-09-2013 05:52PM

I was just in the Parnell street store, there's a handful blue or red jackets in medium. Other than that all I seen was gloves (all sizes) and te bike stand.

Alek · 26-09-2013 08:14PM

Quite a lot of stuff in Rathmines, checked 30min ago. No spoke reflectors or under-helmet caps, though.

nailik · 26-09-2013 08:50PM

Loads of stuff in Aldi Celbridge - lights, arm and leg warmers, jackets, shoes, merino tops for men and women, compression clothes etc etc.

Of course, they didn't have the one thing I wanted. Typical.

MB Lacey · 26-09-2013 08:55PM

Loads of everything left as of 8pm thur eve aldi in fonthill ( next to wheelworx).

and still ricky villa · 27-09-2013 12:32PM

Still a few bits in Arklow. The wife picked me up a couple of Merino baselayers

Paddigol · 30-09-2013 09:00PM

Much ass protection in the tri-suits? Could you use them as a spare pair of cycling shorts for commuting to work (26k each way)?
