Best bike cover?

i got a cheap as chips one from argos, cost me 12 quid, its waterproof has a strap under the belly and hasnt melted when ive chucked it straight on after a ride. it has had a good work out recently as well, living in aberdeen the wind and rain are constant from the north sea!

Even I myself have a stormex, good durable cover, and admittedly I did pay for it, but having now used it, I'd buy another over a cheaper one, I like the strap that clips under the bike and plenty of openings to run your chain through.

Cheers Mark.

Another vote for the Argos cover. Cheap and works.

I got the Motrax deluxe cover from here http://www.motraxdirect.co.uk/acatal...html#aMTXMHBC1 got a free helmet bag as well which was good.

I use the chain to keep the front down and a bungie around the back wheel, it comes with a clip for the bottom (we suffer with very high winds in cornwall, my old XR125 kept on getting blown over when the old cover started acting like a sail).

i have an Oxford cover, not sure which one, but it has the elastic at the bottom so can't blow off.

dirt cheap on ebay for a K4 sport

I brought a Mortax Deluxe one in the end, its top dollar, and even allows for a chain to go through the front or rear wheel thus securing the cover more, it also had a clip under the cover and elastic.

We've had some really strong winds in Cornwall recently and its going nowhere, also has air vents so it doesn't try and act like a sail and blow my poor baby over.

Would recommend it.

I bought the Oxford Stormex from Nightingales for £57 and got a free Oxford Disc Lock as well (plus free P&P).

Bought my HJC FG-15 lid from them and saved £40 on rrp too!

P.S. Haven't melted the cover yet and usually throw it on straight after a ride.

+1. It's very thin - a bit like tent fabric, but seems to do the job well. I haven't had it too long, so I don't know how long it will last, but it's very good for the price.

stormex is good, but if you have rack fitted get the large not medium - I strugge to get the medium on now I've got a rack for commuting purposes.

an aldi cover for home which is quite good heavy and well lined for a cheap cover and a cheap argos one at work just to keep the weather of it a bit.
