Buy two regular covers, one for each end of the bike. I'd say that's the only way to get those cholos covered!

Geez...until today I would have been embarassed to tell this forum that I used sheets as well but they work great for dust. They just don't look very sexy when you open the garage door.

Not sure about the cholos, but I have a cover from exigentbikecovers.com and love it. I got the indoor dust cover for apes up to 18" and it covers my bike from top to bottom and end to end. It is light and breaths really well. Cost me $59.

Google it, when you do you will find a few sites that actually rate them on a 1 thru 5 scale, 5 being the best. I just got one from online that was dust rated at a 4 and rated breathable at a 4 also and I paid under 50 bucks. The sheet thing works well to though. The only reason I bought this one is because my garage is not heated and with this cover it has stretch stuff in it around the bottom and it seals my bike off better then a sheet would do.

Good site right there....I might look into that as well.

Just an FYI, exigentbikecovers.com also has a long bike cover. Up to 10'4'' bikes, if I recall correctly.

Make sure it's BREATHEABLE! Mine wasn't and it caused all sorts of problems.

I live in humid Florida. The UK is humid as I recall...

Bed sheets are what I've used too and they work great. Throw them in the wash once in a while and they're good to go.

Sheets as well. No use spending money on something not needed.
