Ridgeback Quest
Bought courtesy of the cycle to work scheme (from On Your Bike, Digbeth)- added mud guards and bought a new helmet as well. Rides nice, though I want to change the pedals (or put clips on them).

"I guess the thing to do is to take self-adhesive patches and rubber solution glue. Hopefully if self-adhesion doesn't work there will be glue in the tube that can be used to make the patch air-tight. Thanks for the tip…"

"I've just bought an Aldi track pump (the Sports Direct one was Schrader valve only). The Aldi pump looks like it's made out of plastic but it's actually aluminium. It seems as sturdy as Halfords ones three times the…"

"Not the Aldi self-adhesive patches, but Red Devils work OK. You just have to make sure that you have thoroughly roughened the area that you are sticking them to."

"Thanks for the heads-up. I bought a tool bag (I wanted the bag so the tool kit was a bonus), some shorts, a mini pump, and my favourite, a cycle computer for £5. The Cheapskate brand cycle computer has more than enough…"

"I see your mitts and raise you pir of ski boots. Which are tricky enough to wash that many people don't bother."

Kim replied to Steve Cooper's discussion Aldi Cycle stuff back in
"Followed this excellent advice and stocked up on a couple of spare pairs of mitts earlier. I'm not too bad for losing them, but the great thing about Aldi mitts is they're so cheap you can have several pairs and wash them as often as…"

"I really dont need any more cycling gear and anyway my farewell gift from work was an Evans voucher, But Aldi's £4.99 walking poles were fantastic value and enabled me to enjoy a walking holiday in Cornwall despite a damaged ankle. Glad…"
