Spec me a bike cover

[bloodiedathame]

My bike lives outside as of last week so I want to treat it to a cover to keep the elements out. No idea what to buy though. Suggestions? It'll need to be one that I can throw over if it is hot, wet, dry, grimy etc

Tempted to try a cheapo one but don't want it to melt. Could try Argos, Chas Ohlsen or Lidl. I heard from a friend that the R&G cover goes brittle after 6 months and that Stormex cover (although not highly rated by Ride) has lasted well for years...

Prety sure mine is the large Oxford Stormex. Most pleased with it. A friend has the rainex - few years old now - and it appears to be leaving white, chalk-like deposits on the bike, suggesting it's disintegrating. Anybody else had this?

Or fungus!
