Just popped in to buy a pair of winter gloves and saw the posh track pumps for 14.99. Very tempted as they feel incredibly solid. Any experiences?

£12.99 rear light is ace.
if it lasts as well as the cheaper twin pack ones I'll be happy with that

Missed the 810's online so had to do the 8am queue outside Aldi this morning to get one near work. Should have taken a look at the lights as well really as the £12.99 one looks quite decent. I normally just buy the cheap Phaart ones from PX for £1.99 and use rechargeable batteries in them. That way I can have one on each bike for £10 and never forget to fit it before a ride.

Have got an Etrex 20 so having a bit of guilt over spending £180 on the 810 but am hoping it will be worth it. Maybe I can "sell" the purchase to the OH as she can now track me on rides using the BT link to my phone and no longer worry I have killed myself crashing in the woods 😀

£13 light and £10 double pack of lights are both excellent. Obviously 'Moon' lights with different decals

Bought a merino midlayer to supplement one of theirs I bought 3 years ago which is still in service.

Feels good quality.

Just unwrapping my rear light now. Mine has charge and a quick test suggests its very very bright. Looks well made and the rail clamp even has an allen bolt. unbeliveable really as this would have cost 50 quid plus only 18 months ago.

On a related note I saw a fitbit knock off there. My wife is looking for one- are they any good or do I need to pay for a 'proper' brand to get the software back up?

Ordered one of the 810's online although the local shop still had them. Bought various gloves and lights etc. - those £13 ones seem pretty solid and very bright.

3 810's left in Stourbridge tonight. There were 4 but I treated myself.

The merino baselayer looks almost identical to my Endura Baabaa, for which I paid way over £30 few years ago. And it feels very nice! For £15 it's a bargain!
