what cover?

Post by callam_nffc »

Any of you recommend a good cover?

Ive got an oxford aquatex and it's just crap, has to be bungee corded down etc

Im getting more and more tempted to build myself a permanent wood shelter for covering her before the weather gets any worse

Great quality, custom made in UK and appropriately named! :thumbup: Elasticated at the front and rear to fit snugly over front & rear wheels, plus two lower belt clips to keep it on securely even in high winds.

Storm Shield: Ideal for frequent outdoor storage, this lightweight cover is 100% waterproof and breathable. The excellent breathability of the Stormshield fabric means the cover can be put on a wet bike and the remaining moisture will permeate through the cover. The 100% waterproof protection ensures that your bike is never exposed to the elements, even in harsh weather conditions.

i've got a oxford rainex cover, elasticated with a belt thingy in the middle, quilted on the inside, i did burn a hole the size of a 50p piece in it tho, when i put the cover on to quickly after a ride, and it touched the header pipe.... :(
i've had it for a couple of year and i'd reccomend it.... :thumbup:

Oxford Stormex or R&G Superbike cover, not the cheapest though. The R&G medium size one is a perfect fit on the Firestorm, straps underneath. I sold it with my bike. Got a small shed now which is superb. Still have the Stormex cover if you want it.

Saw something similar to this in a garden centre the other day...

It looked ideal for winter bike storage, the one I saw was perfect size for the bike in the back garden too

I can then wheel it in and out easily with no worry of melting the cover or strapping it down etc
