Have a little faith, DK :love:Personally I wouldn't put my 5k bike on a aldi 40 buck rack.

In that case I may have to check it outNope its identical. I had only bought the stand from aldi the day before seeing it in the other shops.
There are no internals or functioning parts other than what can be seen by the eye.
There are many products out there (not just bike stuff) that is bought from catalogues in china and then just branded to whatever you want.
The new fluid stand is now different, but also more expensive.
I will just not in aldi hahah.Have a little faith, DK :love:
Just drill a hole and put a bolt through that end. Stops the rotational freedom. The other end of the slider still allows rotation so function is not affected at all.Yeh I wouldn't recommend the aldi work stand. I've been using one for a while. Very cheaply made, the blue clamp blocks come out every time I try to clamp something in it.
And the head is so bad it rotates where it clamps to the top slider no matter how much you tighten the bolt.
So can't really hold an average weight bike by the seatpost without rotating forwards. Makes it annoying when taking off wheels or forks!
Has anyone done this been able to upload a photo?Just drill a hole and put a bolt through that end. Stops the rotational freedom. The other end of the slider still allows rotation so function is not affected at all.
+1Would really appreciate it if someone posted a picture of the hole they drilled so the stand cans hold a bike with the seat post.
Wouldn't a few spoons full of cement be cheaper and more effective?Anyone have the Aldi trainer?
I notice they are on special for $69 atm and Im looking to do a couple of days a week inside this winter instead of freezing my arse off.
Rapid set is on sale at Masters at the moment $48/10kg bag.Wouldn't a few spoons full of cement be cheaper and more effective?
Waaaaay to fancy. Might as well just buy the trainer:gossip:Rapid set is on sale at Masters at the moment $48/10kg bag.
jesus christ thats expensive!Rapid set is on sale at Masters at the moment $48/10kg bag.
Appreciate the offer but not in Sydney unfortunately. Not sure if your offer points to the fact the trainer is crap or that you dont use it?I bought one last time around that I'd be willing to let go for a six pack of coopers if you are in Sydney trailboy

Yes shouldnt be more than about $7 for a 20kg bag. At the above rates and with my requirements I would be broke within a week.....jesus christ thats expensive!

Guessing not many have trainers, are they some sort of roadie tool?
Thanks for the reply - I figured it was to good to be true and that price was reflective of quality.I have a trainer, and yes, I am a roadie tool
Trainers are very, very efficient and effective in developing fitness if you have the discipline to use them properly.
I have not seen the aldi version, but all of the cheap trainers I have seen and used are shit. Inconsistent resistance, inadequate resistance, poor flywheel effect, unstable, short life span.
If you are going to do it, spend some money on something like a Kurt Kinetic.
