Bike covers

Post by BigVeeGrin »

Given I'm mothballing my beloved for a while in a mates garage, anyone recommend a cover? Normal stuff applies - I'm skint but don't want the cheapest shite out there so wondered who has experience of what?

Wouldn`t want to use them as outdoor covers but Aldi do bike stuff from time to time and the covers they had last time are perfect just to keep the dust and shite off the bikes in the workshop. (good enough that all the bikes are covered with one each) Only cost around the £10 mark if I remember rightly. :thumbup:

I use a motrax deluxe waterproof cover and it seems to work ok. It's covering up the dr350 in the back garden at the moment. There's a fair bit of condensation though so its worth weather protecting still. ACF or equivalent .

If it's just for keeping the dust and webs off and not going to be out in the elements then are quite a few cheepies on ebay for under a tenner. If your looking for something that needs to be out in the element's and very waterproof you wont get much change from £30 - £40.
