I'm thinking of buying the stand and tool kit.
Tempted by the watch also... But I hear the Garmin 110 running watch for £15 more is better?

Picked up 3 tops, 3 shorts, bike stand and tool kit.
Very impressed with the stand. Very heavy and sturdy. Made taking the forks out to clean and re-grease very simple.
I was also impressed with stand (walked into town and checked, decided needed car to take it back)- though haven't as yet used it.Very impressed with the stand. Very heavy and sturdy. Made taking the forks out to clean and re-grease very simple.
Cool.
I bought the stand today, had a bit of a tidy in the shed and garden so might do some tinkering with it tomorrow!
Bike Radar have the heads up on the GPS watch they're selling soon - stand-by for review!

I bought the track floor pump
Seems ok for £5.99!
Out of the three I got last year - one started consistently underreading, leading to under inflated tyres.Seems ok for £5.99!
One became increasingly hard to clamp on to valve stem, the inner rubber clamp failed,
The last one I gave away and went out and got a half decent track pump instead.
Hope you have a better experience, I found they last a couple of months at best

The Stand is great :-)The local Aldi looked like it had been ransacked...
No jerseys left (shame I wanted a couple for commuting!), few gloves, no T-shirts in my size. Did find a couple of the base layers (No Mens smalls so Women's medium!) but they were pretty much cleared out as well.
I've passed on the stand on previous times they've had stock, and I've been unwilling to part with £80 or so on the cheapest park tools version so thought this time around, why not give the Aldi one a go.
I'm impressed so far, far more solid than I imagined for the money. This way I can see if I get the use out of it and only invest in the pricey blue park tools ones if I get the use. Already used it on Sunday and its great.
The Aldi in Ludlow had LOADS of stock of everything.

I'm even more impressed with the stand now, it cost me 30 SFr which is £20 and that makes it one of only three things which are cheaper in Switzerland than the UK!
The other 2 being income tax and public transport? I spent a weekend there to do a bungee jump it makes snowboarding in the alps seem very reasonably priced :-Psnowdude2910 said:

No, public transport is also more expensive! Tax in general and wine are the only two I can think of (wine is only cheap because of the 8% VAT and lower duty too). I just paid £25 for a normal haircut The product list is up now too - more than in previous years. Some of the stuff looks pretty good (does perfectly well for commuting at least). https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thursday-25-...
