Bike cover for on carrier
hi all, any recomendations for a cover that can be used on a carrier ,to cover up during transport. I have a SarisGran Fondo carrier, and the bikes,carried one at a time, are a mountain bike or a dutch style ebike.
a lot of covers say do not use to transport, i assume its because the material could rip.
not big budget please!

I'd have thought its more likely to act as a sail and rip the carrier off the car.
I'd really not use a cover unless the bike was welll out of the wind - ie on the back of a mobile home or something and massively secure.
Take a look at SCICON products, you may not find a complete carrier that fits the bike whilst on the gran fondo rack, it might act as a sail anyway
http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/3335174.htm - wouldn't reccomend this type
...but you can find derailleur/chainset covers so at least the major mechanicals are covered from spray etc.

this type may not allow secure wheel attachment to the carrier
