Bike cover for Warwick XL Fiamma 200DJ

Hi all, 

Looking to buy a cover to fit over two standard road bikes on a Fiamma 200DJ fitted to the rear door of our 2018 Warwick XL. The idea is to hide them from passing view to minimise likelihood of theft a little. 

The Fiamma cover seems to get terrible reviews and has been discontinued according to Amazon.

These look quite tricky / a faff to fit.

Any advice / recommendations appreciated. 

Regards,

They don't currently list it on their website but probably worth a call to 01274 872151 It's made from a single layer of the material they use to make their screens. It folds up quite small and was supplied with it's own bag.

Ditto, but 10 years ago and substitute "Taylor Made" instead of "Silverscreens".

I'm pretty sure Taylor Made are still doing them, and they are built like a brick outhouse in comparison to the flimsy Fiamma ones.

They certainly are still doing them.

I got all excited until I read


‘Unfortunately, we don’t make a cover for an offset mounted bike rack on the back of double opening doors’


Rats!


Any other ideas folks?

I’m going to try a chat with these tomorrow. I’ll report back....

Hi Camper-x

We bought one of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] covers for our Thule tow bar mounted twin-cycle carrier.

It seems to be well designed/ made.  

I'm not sure if it will suit your style of carrier - but either it, or others in the same range, may be worth a look...

Thanks for posting but tow bar mount is a different beast to the door mounted Fiamma DJ200, which has arms that connect to the bike from above, so I don't think your cover would work. 

The company I tried are adjusting one of their standard two bike covers to fit. I'll post the results up here once done in case anyone needs a cover for two bikes on a DJ200.

Cheers

The Taylormade bike cover was the one we went for (despite being a Silverscreens fan) I thought it was the best made of those looked at

Taylormade cover sounds really good, however, full-suspension mountain bikes have become wider and longer, or in California speak 'slack' our handlebars are 30.5 in against Taylormade max of 29 in,  TaylorMade length is 78 in max which is a tadge smaller than the length of our bikes. So the search continues...

Replied to your pm ,cheers

SO I went with https://www.bagsandcoversdirect.co.uk who adjusted their standard cover so the rear zips deal with the Fiamma DJ200 rack mountings. It is an outstanding bit of kit. Well made, top notch materials, nice people and a fair price. They have my measurements so will be able to supply now. Recommended.

Could I ask how much please Camper-x, and what kind of bikes you sized, we have full suspension Mountain bikes with v wide bars and long wheelbase?

They adjusted their standard two bike bag but only the rear zips not the size. Try it Rd out bikes were quite small but their bag adjusts with heavy duty straps so you’re probably fine. Cost was basic price about £70 but we added the clear pocket and the warning triangle for another 30ish. It’s heavy duty stuff. High quality. Give them a call is your best bet.

Thanks Camper-x appreciated
