    No one's seen it yet, but probably a better returns policy and warranty than similarly priced options?

    Are the Parkside chain cleaner lubes worth picking up in Lidl today?

    i bought a brake disc cleaner (not sure if it's parkside brand) a year or two ago. it's useless, it's too volatile and evaporates too quickly to be usable.

    I have a couple of cans. I found them very good for degreasing parts when I'm disassembling etc. particularly things like ball bearings.

    Conversely, I don't find them good for cleaning the chain and cassette, at least on the bike. I find soapy water works better

    In terms of the specials, I've had similar experiences with the Lidl own brand. I prefer to pick up the muc-off stuff when it's in Aldi! I may pick up the cleaning set though.

    The cleaning set is the only thing I'm picking up this time around. Up to now I've used old dish washing brushes

    Picked that up myself this morning. Don't forget to use the Lidl app and and activate any money off vouchers for extra savings.

    How does that work I tried to use it there today picking up a few bike related things and couldn't figure out how to use the 5er off voucher!

    Also couldn't find the bike helmet in the Parnell street branch of Lidl I'll have a look in Fortunestown later.

    Just go into your app. Activate the 'voucher' and then present the app showing your 'barcode card' to the machine by the cashier and it comes off automatically.

    I got one of the cycling jerseys yesterday:
    https://www.lidl.ie/en/p/cycling-offers/men-s-cycling-jersey/p46579

    Size XL. I'm six foot and it's far too small, so returning it today.

    Quality was good.

    Greystones were selling off one of the "smart" helmets from a previous special (indicators or something). A basket of craft beer and bike stuff - at least I'm two dimensional...

    Was in both, but was evening, so no sign of the folding bike in Aldi.

    The folding bike was in Aldi Greystones this morning at 10, next to the hurling items

    Does anyone know what's in the Lidl Brake Cleaner spray? I don't think it's isopropyl alcohol.

    I use mine pretty constantly, it’s a good bit of kit! Well worth the money!

    Available in Lidl @€;24.58. I paid €29.99 for it two months ago, I was robbed!
    It is well well worth the price. I highly recommend it.

    Tried Belgard to no avail, went up the road to Fortunestown and there were easily 15/20 left. I was very happy to get one.

    Picked up the €25 bike stand in Lidl clonee today. Another 5 of them left at 7pm.

    I must say my expectations were very low, thought it’d be a cheap, lightweight piece of crap tbh but I must say I’m very impressed.

    It’s solid as fook, like proper weighty but then folds away very well for storage in seconds because of the quick releases.

    For €25 everybody who cycles should own one of these. You’d be nuts not to.

    Grabbed a rucksack and winter gloves while I was there too. If I ever have to commute to work they’ll come in handy.
