Anyone tried a bike bubble

[fubars]

Anyone got one of these or similar ? I've got a brick garage but no insulation gets very cold in the winter and damp just trying to protect my bikes better.

Been using Carcoons and Air Chambers for years now, on both cars and bikes, great products, but they do take up a lot of room.

I have a similar one but with a rigid frame

Had it for my Buell down my Mom's garage which was very damp and worked great

Still going and had it as long as I have owned the Buell which was 2001 !

Thanks I could do with one that you can get two and a half bikes in rather than three individual bubbles, but I will look into it

That's how I use one of mine, got a car Air Chamber (rigid frame as above) and managed to get six bikes in it.

Do you keep it inside or outside ?

[LC_BOTT]

Inside, the outside ones are double skinned and are more expensive.

I’ve got a carcoon for sale but it’s a big 1 bought off muttsnuts

I'm tempted to buy one

I've used a vac bag before but they are a right pain to put in and then once in you can't tinker with it easily

That looks like you could easy unzip it, do a bit, then zip back up 🤔

I use to have one as the "garage" at our last house had the old asbestos style corrugated roof which mimicked a shower when temperature changed quickly. I used it for the only Posh bike I had at the time and can honestly say it did exactly as they advertise. When I 1st put the bike in it was dripping wet, connected up the fan/battery conditioner and left it running (the fan not the bike ) and the vent open as per instructions for 24hrs. Next day the bike was bone dry, closed the vent and did that for 5 winters with not a rust mark to be seen. They're not cheap but do exactly what they claim.
FYI, I also used to put my all power tools etc. in it for the winter too.

I believed you right up to the power tools bit

Any one want to buy a carcoon bike bubble thing?
I've got one I've never used.
