Any advice for a lightweight cover for 2 bikes on our Fiaama bike rack.

Fiamma !
Make good ones that fit

If however you have a rear wall mounted rack, you need a step ladder to put them on.

Best bike racks are the towball mounted ones.

We went for a Hindermann bike cover,not the cheapest,but good quality.

We have the Hindermann Universal Zwoo on our Thule tow ball rack and it’s held up well. Has the correct sized pocket to take the warning board for Spain & Italy. If interested I’d advise not buying the optional securing straps and using 2x 72” bungees instead.

We went for Taylor Made, good quality and has 2 splits in the back for the arms.

Our previous Fiamma one disintegrated after 18 months.

I never rated the Fiamma cover we had though it was flimsy and the zips were always breaking eventually had a cover purpose made out of better materials still have after 10 years don’t use it now on the van but at home to cover the bikes.

Whatever you get, also get ether a couple of very long bungees (3 meters+), or, do as we did and get about 6 meters of elastic cord.
Once the cover is on, you wrap the entire package up like a christmas turkey, which rescues the flapping.

Make sure you get a cover with a pocket for the rear warning board, as they are a legal requirement in Italy, Spain and some other countries.
