Is this the first year they have had the trailer mate thing? Has anyone else got/used the Aldi one? Would you trust it or is it flimsy like their stands?

Generally pretty good it just doesn't have all the mod con's of a good brand name. Eg the pants have no hard armour and look like Rjays instead of Dainese or alpine star

I've bought 2 of the front stands (gave one to a mate as thanks for painting my fairings), 1 of their folding ramps and a midlayer top. Can't complain about any of them.

The stands work perfectly and hold the bike nice and securely, I use it in the garage and also bolt it down onto the trailer when transporting the racebike (I use one of the metal straps that gets tightened over the rear tyre and it doesn't budge an inch). The ramps don't flex at all, although I don't bounce my body weight on it, and the midlayer top keeps me nice and toasty. All their products are good for occasional use, a motorbike shop would soon destroy anything from Aldi from over-use I'd say.

Cheers,
Josh

Mid layer tops and pants work a treat.

Just got back with a transport stand, ramp and a couple of pairs of socks. Seems good quality and all works fine. Socks are great. Bargain!

Went to my first Ali bike gear sale this morning, was like a DJ's Boxing Day sale. Grabbed a padlock stand, a couple of tankbags, midlayer pants and a pair of socks. Padlock stand had two R clips missing, but otherwise works great. Would have bought more but funds restricted. Looking forward to the next sale.
