Dust sheets for bikes.

With the old SV I wasn't too precious about it, and never used a dust sheet in the garage, but I'm picking up my new (to me) bike today and have been wondering.....

Now is a dust sheet/indoor cover worth it to stop any small scratches etc when in the garage, or is it just going to cause micro scratches and condensation issues?

So what's the wisdom from the .org, should I get one?

And if so what type, an old bed sheet, a cheap one or some superspangly type?

Note I do not want a bike equivalent of a car coon!

Couldn't you just use an outdoor rain cover? Or would that contribute to the condensation problem Otherwise a soft cotton bed sheet...

bed sheet

I use an outdoor cover on mine in the garage, I don't know the make but it's fairly solid material with a slightly furry inner lining. No problems to report so far other than spider webs up inside the cover

We have a micro-fibre cover for ours, even though it's kept in the house, as the cats have a habit of jumping up and sitting on it

Got ours cheap off e bay.

Oxford do an Indoor cover Tim, and Ive used that. I think I have the medium one and as yet dont know if it fits the new bike (havent tried)

What you getting?

I use an old duvet, the padding protects from any minor knocks
