What are the better Bike Covers for inside my garage?

(1/4) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I bought a size L bike cover from Aldi for use as a dust cover on my 400 cost £10.99 it's a tight fit as the XL sizes were sold out plus it does not reach down to the floor. The XL sixes were sold out.
I bought a Neverland cover bike for the 500 that totally covers the bike right down to the ground £12.99 on ebay its made of thin material with no inside lining - it does the job.

I would like to totally cover the 400 with a replacement cover that reaches down to the floor all round - I like the inside lining.

What if any bike covers do memebers hers recommend/use.

Skoti:
Old cotton mattress cover from a double bed has always done me ok, breaths fine and keeps the dust off.

What more is needed?



Hope this helps

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I did used an old Draylon type Ikea Throw during the build - my concern with cotton is it might hold moisture whereas nylon type materials don't.

Skoti:
Ted,

you're correct, I never thought about the dampness issue with cotton, because I'm fortunate enough to have a heated damp free garage in my basement.

But I suppose with nylon type materials you would have to make sure the engine and exhaust are not too hot when you cover the bike.


Will be interesting to see what others suggest is best.

Deano400:
This is what I use. My garage has no heating and gets cold and damp in winter so I thought this would be the best solution. Don't remember them being as expensive when I bought one though. Having said that when you've spent £1000s on your bike it's not that bad of a price to protect it.
