might go for the bib shorts as I don't have a pair yet.

Also does anyone know what clip system the shoes would be from previsions experience?

They've been spd's the last few times.
If you zoom in on the sole in the picture, it looks like 2 holes i.e. spd

Animella · 30-04-2015 05:29PM

Yes, shoes are SPDs.

I was hoping they'd have the ultra light packaway jackets but they don't :-(
What are the triathlon suits like?!

VR46 · 30-04-2015 05:38PM

I'll give the bib shorts a lash. If they're similar to the Lidl ones I'll be happy. Nothing fancy but good value.

Roger Hassenforder · 30-04-2015 07:29PM

someone's going to be chaffed with those jox

GottaGetGatt · 30-04-2015 08:08PM

Damn only picked up a saddle bag there during the week. Might buy the glasses.

Funy enough I started watching a few videos on that GCN cycling page on YouTube and they recommended coconut water amongst the foods and drinks to take with you on a long cycle. Very good videos actually.

Dropped into Aldi in Coolock and bought their saddle bag.

Originally the idea was to put it onto my spare hybrid, but its twice the size as the bag on my regular bike so I've changed over.

Decent saddle bag and goodies for €5:90

Boscoirl · 03-05-2015 08:39PM

Got it too, but it blocks my rear light and that can only be mounted on the seat post, you can get loads into it though.

aidanki · 03-05-2015 09:17PM

Is this bike pump any good

dunworth1 · 03-05-2015 09:43PM

magicbastarder · 04-05-2015 12:26AM

fryup · 04-05-2015 10:18AM

my arse and ball bag get terribly itchy after a long cycle:o will those underwear above help??

torydiver · 04-05-2015 10:27AM

Massively disappointed their packable rain jacket wasn't listed this time,
been waiting for it, regret not buying the last time they were on sale
Will have to look for an alternative now....

What size are you? I have one from last time, never been worn as its too big for me. It's size L and hi-viz yellow. I'm in letterkenny.

I usually wear large but this is too big on me and flaps about too much acting like a sail. I'd need a medium or possibly even a small to have a non flappy fit

mhiggy09 · 04-05-2015 02:06PM

Did anyone check the shoes to see if they are spd or spd sl

keladam · 04-05-2015 02:57PM

Anybody try the pump? I've read that previous ones were c**p but these look fairly ok. Was gonna get the topeak Road Morph Pump but maybe this one with the co2 to top it up might be an option.

No. Wearing no underwear and proper shorts will.

torydiver · 04-05-2015 04:27PM

Any thoughts on quality of the co2 inflator?,
would it be worth a try for a few euros or would folks recommend going for a recognized brand...

rollingscone · 04-05-2015 08:03PM

Nabbed one of the €9 Selle Royale Saddles...will find a home. Probably on the reconstituted beater.

Thargor · 05-05-2015 12:45PM

Anyone got an opinion on the bibs and/or the shorts with the new padding? Think Ill chance one this evening.

I got them for commuting 20k round trip to work each day. They seem decent enough for the price. The padding is thick enough so could probably support a 2 hour cycle or more. Found the short silicon band a little tight around the quad even though the waist fits perfect.

Thargor · 05-05-2015 12:54PM

The bib or the shorts?

The Bibs. The leg opening is a bit tight... maybe I just have huge quads :pac: ( I don't!)

NeedMoreGears · 05-05-2015 01:40PM

Took the bib shorts out on a three hour spin yesterday - very comfortable. I agree with jon1981, the band around the quads is a bit tighter than I would have expected but not really a problem.

Did the usual ALDI thing of course. Went in to get two bib shorts - came out with 2 bib shorts, 1 shorts, 2 pairs socks and a bright running shirt (not to mention apples, oranges......)

I have a medium white ( men's) from a couple of years ago if you want it. Only worn once as it was like a parachute on me! Free to good home.

dunworth1 · 07-05-2015 10:00PM

well my bib shorts are going in the bin. went out for a 30k spin tonight with them and my arse is sore.
